Product Description

A carnival edge under a Renaissance line. Neoclassical Pop Art's carnival stripe is the take on the face, a new image with an old line underneath. Pink and yellow zebra bands invite you in; the face makes sure you stay.

With “Caricature”, Neoclassical Pop Art wraps the graphic artist Wenceslaus Hollar's 1645 etching “Caricature”, made after Leonardo da Vinci and kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in pink and yellow zebra stripes. The carnival edge pulls you in; the profile keeps you.

During the 16th century, caricature art was regarded as a highly-esteemed art form.

Although Leonardo da Vinci is widely known for his achievements as a painter during his life, his caricatures, comics, and grotesque were regarded as some of his most popular and influential artwork. One can say they bridge between the ancient Medieval world visions of Bosch and Bruegel and the succeeding 17th-century graphic art.

Da Vinci's observation of human physiognomy and fascination with unusual and eccentric features gave birth to unique grotesque drawings he titled "visi monstruosi" -monstrous faces inspiring Hollar's artwork.

The 16th-century art historian, Giorgio Vasari, implies that da Vinci was stalking the people adopted as a model for these drawings and noted da Vinci was 'so delighted when he saw curious heads... that he would follow anyone who had thus attracted his attention for a whole day, acquiring such a clear idea of [them] that when he went home he would draw the head as well as if the [person] had been present."

The Neoclassical Pop Art artwork brings forth a colorful decorative appropriation of both da Vinci and Hollar's work. If you like caricatures and comics, this work is just right for you.

A contemporary print, created by the Neoclassical Pop Art studio.

High-key stripe for anyone who looks twice.

For true art lovers: a collectible statement piece in which the old masters meet pop culture.
