EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases the captivating portrait of "Catherine, the Mulatta of the Portuguese Bradao" by renowned German artist Albrecht Durer. Created in 1521 but reproduced in 1936 for Wilhelm Waetzoldt's book "Durer, Und Seine Zeit" this engraving is now housed in the Gabinetto dei Disegni e Stampe at Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The image depicts a melancholic Catherine wearing a traditional jacket and headscarf, her gaze directed downwards. Her ethnicity as a mulatta - a person of mixed African and European heritage - adds an intriguing layer to this sixteenth-century portrayal. Durer's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous rendering of Catherine's clothing and headgear. Although little is known about Catherine herself or her connection to Portugal, this portrait serves as a testament to the global reach of art during that era. It also highlights Durer's ability to capture not only physical features but also emotions within his subjects. With its monochrome aesthetic reminiscent of forties photography, this print provides viewers with a glimpse into both historical fashion trends and societal attitudes towards race during the sixteenth century. As we contemplate Catherine's expression filled with sadness and introspection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and evoke empathy across centuries.
