There’s calligraphy and then there’s fraktur extravaganzas such as this….

This is crazy. I love it!
that would make an awesome tat
Maybe on your back. Would need a lot of empty skin to show all of that detail.
Do you have this pic in a bigger size? I want to get a tat of it on my back, My Last name is Madrid so it’s perfect for me! Madrid is the capital of Spain by the way.
Hi Arturo. The largest version is at the place I found it here. Good luck with the tattoo if you do get it done!
Thanks John!
The size you found is bigger than I expected, it’s perfect though.
Is there anywhere else I can find these letters though?
This looks to me like a unique piece and I certainly haven’t seen any similar examples online. There are many calligraphy books around although few feature examples as extravagant as this. I think you’d need to contact a museum or find a museum catalogue.
What is the meaning of this tattoo?
Kind Regards,
Ilyas
It’s not a tattoo, it’s a capital M draw on a sheet of paper as a calligraphy exercise.
This is something that Master Penmans Michael Sull and Jake Weidmann would be able to create with ease!
I would like to know what collection this image is part of and the name and date of the artist, it doesn’t look like paul franck, but looks penn-german? can anyone help.
