En gammel mand. Allegorisk fremstilling af synet
1639
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
En gammel mand. Allegorisk fremstilling af synet is a 1639 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows an older man with a full white beard and glasses. He’s wearing a ruffled collar with a beaded chain across his chest. The background is plain and dark, so the face stands out clearly. The artist used deep shadows to make the wrinkles and beard look textured. This style was common in the 1600s. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
