Painting Description
"Self-Portrait at 22" is a painting by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, completed in 1493 when the artist was indeed 22 years old. This work is one of the earliest known self-portraits by Dürer and is a testament to his precocious talent and self-awareness as a young artist. The painting is executed in oil on panel and measures 52 cm × 41 cm (20 in × 16 in). It is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
In this self-portrait, Dürer presents himself with an air of confidence and self-assurance, characteristics that are remarkable for such a young artist of his time. He is dressed in the fashion of the Italian and Burgundian courts, which suggests his aspiration to be seen as a gentleman-artist rather than a mere craftsman, a status that artists of his era typically held. The portrait is notable for its detailed representation of Dürer's features and the intricate play of light and shadow on his face and clothing, showcasing his mastery of the oil medium and his skillful handling of color and texture.
The work is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its cultural and historical context. It reflects the humanist spirit of the Renaissance, emphasizing the individual and the importance of self-representation. Dürer's self-portrait is often discussed in the context of the rise of individualism and the artist's role in society during the Renaissance period. It also provides insight into Dürer's self-perception and his understanding of his place within the artistic community of his time.
"Self-Portrait at 22" is one of several self-portraits Dürer produced throughout his life, each marking different stages of his career and personal development. These works collectively offer a unique autobiographical series that chronicles the artist's evolution and his enduring influence on the history of art.
