Face of Christ on St. Veronica's Cloth, Claude Mellan, 1649 |
This remarkable engraving by 17th century French engraver and painter Claude Mellan consists of a single spiral line!
Beginning on the tip of the nose, the line spirals outward, its passages of increasing or decreasing thickness defining the darks and lights of the image.
