Painting Description
"Self-Portrait (1542–43)" is a notable work by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most accomplished portraitists of the 16th century. This painting is considered one of the few self-portraits created by Holbein and serves as a significant testament to his artistic skill and personal appearance. The artwork is executed in oil on paper, mounted on canvas, and measures approximately 45.5 by 38 centimeters. It is part of the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
The self-portrait is characterized by the meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike representation that are hallmarks of Holbein's style. The artist depicts himself in three-quarter view, gazing directly at the viewer with a composed and introspective expression. He is dressed in the fashion of the Tudor court, with a dark fur-lined coat, a hat, and holds what appears to be a locket or pendant in his right hand, which may have held personal significance or served as a symbol of his profession.
The work is dated to the period when Holbein was serving as King Henry VIII's court painter in England. During this time, Holbein achieved great success, creating portraits of the king and other notable figures of the Tudor court. The self-portrait not only showcases Holbein's technical prowess but also provides insight into his self-perception and status as a prominent artist of his time.
The "Self-Portrait (1542–43)" by Hans Holbein the Younger is a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art, reflecting the cultural and artistic milieu of the period. Its historical and artistic significance make it an important subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
