Alfonso Castaldi

Alfonso Castaldi made a single print titled Autoportret, leaving us only a self-portrait in ink. The work sits in a quiet corner of early printmaking, where artists often carved their own faces before moving on to other subjects. Without a birth or death date, his era remains a question mark, but the print itself is a small, direct window into a moment of self-scrutiny.

See how the lines in Autoportret pull the eye around the face, then tap the print to zoom in on the details.
