EDITORS COMMENTS
Noon, plate two from The Four Parts of the Day" is a captivating engraving by Crispijn de Passe I, a prominent artist of the Dutch Mannerist movement in the 16th century. The image showcases a solitary figure, a man in his prime, standing in a lush, natural setting. He is depicted in the midst of the day, at noon, with the sun at its zenith. The man in the print is shown holding a fig leaf, as if in contemplation, while a basket of ripe grapes and a few detached leaves lie at his feet. The glowing sun casts long shadows, adding depth and texture to the scene. The artist's masterful use of contrast and shading creates a sense of three-dimensionality, drawing the viewer into the image. Crispijn de Passe I, also known as Crispijn van de Passe or Crispijn de Passe the Elder, was a prolific engraver and printmaker from the Low Countries. His work, including this print, is characterized by its intricate details and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes the contrast between light and dark. This print, titled "Noon," is part of a series called "The Four Parts of the Day," which depicts figures in various stages of the day - morning, noon, evening, and night. The series showcases the artist's ability to capture the essence of each moment in time, as well as his skill in creating visually striking and thought-provoking images. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful print in its collection, adding to its rich heritage of Old Master prints and drawings. The image invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the beauty of nature, making it a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers.
