Who Painted This #46 - The Answer

Self Portrait (1498) yesteryear Albrecht Durer
Museo Nacional del Prado

• Title of the artwork:  Self-Portrait
• Name of the creative somebody who created this artwork: Albrecht Dürer
• Date it was created: 1498
• Media used: colour on wood, 104 × 82 cm (40.9 × 32.3 in)
• Where it lives now: Prado Museum, Madrid

This is an In-depth analysis of Dürer's Self-Portrait, 1498 providing discussions about:

• Composition discusses the influences on the composition together with his purpose of miniaturist techniques for the background
• Iconography. The Artist every bit “gentiluomo”  Focuses on the clothing, the eyes together with the hands.  Here's what is has to nation almost the eyes - which a lot of people commented on inward their responses to concluding week's post

The eyes from Durer's 1498 self-portrait

Dürer’s restrained, calmly proud gaze indicates his wishing to choose his social status. He has focused the eyes inward 2 slightly unlike directions inward gild to enliven the figure’s gaze. His left eye, which is farther away, looks straight out at the viewer patch his nearer, right eye, looks into the distance. This slight disjunction was used yesteryear after portraitists including Hans Holbein the Younger.

• The Self-portrait every bit Genre. Other Self-portraits yesteryear Dürer
• Technical Information - including an X ray view.  It's interesting to come across that it's a really considered composition together with that he changes really petty from start to finish.
• Other technical details What fewer people commented on is the fact that he used a modest apartment mirror to pigment his portrait.  Sometimes nosotros forget at that spot was novel technology scientific discipline inward the yesteryear too!

In gild to pigment his Self-portrait, Dürer used a apartment mirror which he could lead maintain acquired on his get-go trip to Venice (1494-1495), where it is known that they could last flora inward the belatedly 15th century. As a resultant together with for the get-go fourth dimension the creative somebody was able to completely invert his torso together with his left arm (which appears to our right) is every bit visible every bit the right.

• Historical together with Artistic Context - this gives the backdrop to what Dürer was trying to exercise alongside his paintings together with portraits.

Who guessed correct?

Paschalis Dougalis was get-go to squall the creative somebody correctly simply did non follow through alongside the residuum of the information for quite a chip later.

Bernadette Madden nevertheless 1 time to a greater extent than was the get-go somebody to come upwards up alongside the right answer.

Others who got it right were:

• John O'Grady

Interestingly, Wiki tells me that this paradigm 1 time belonged to Charles I of England, together with was acquired yesteryear Felipe of Kingdom of Spain at auction. Poor Charles lost both his caput together with his Durer.
