Karikatuur van een man met bosrijk haar
1495
Leonardo da Vinci wasn't just about perfect smiles; he had a secret obsession with ugly faces. Created around 1495, this sketch features a man in profile with a wild, bushy mane of hair and a hooked nose, seemingly laughing his head off. Leonardo drew these grotesque caricatures to study the extremes of human anatomy and expression, believing that mastering the bizarre helped him paint the beautiful. The energetic, scratchy lines give this Renaissance drawing a surprisingly modern, almost comic-book feel.
