EDITORS COMMENTS
Youth, from The Course of Human Life, 1570" is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Pieter Furnius. This 16th-century masterpiece takes us on a visual journey through time, capturing the essence of youth in all its glory. In this engraving, we witness a young boy standing proudly alongside a magnificent horse. The boy's nakedness symbolizes purity and innocence while his confident stance reflects the vigor and vitality of youth. His presence is juxtaposed against the backdrop of an ethereal winged figure, representing the fleeting nature of time. Furnius' attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully captures the intricate textures and expressions on both human and animal subjects. The horse exudes strength and grace, serving as a metaphor for untamed energy that accompanies youthfulness. The composition invites contemplation about life's transience and reminds us to cherish our youthful spirit while it lasts. Through this artwork, Furnius explores universal themes such as growth, identity formation, and self-discovery. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art with great pride, this print serves as a testament to Furnius' mastery in capturing human emotions through his engravings. It continues to inspire viewers across generations by immortalizing the beauty and complexity inherent in youth.
