Painting Description
"Self Portrait with Husband and Son c.1659-60" is a notable work by Mary Beale, who is considered one of the most important female portrait painters of 17th century England. This painting is significant as it not only showcases Beale's artistic skill but also serves as a personal document of her life and family. In this self-portrait, Mary Beale is depicted alongside her husband, Charles Beale, who was also her manager and assistant, and their son, Bartholomew Beale, who would later become a painter himself.
The painting is remarkable for its intimate portrayal of the artist's family life and the insight it provides into the role of women artists during a period when the professional art world was predominantly male-dominated. Mary Beale's work is characterized by her adept use of color and her ability to capture the personalities and relationships of her subjects. In this self-portrait, she presents herself as a confident artist, a loving wife, and a caring mother, challenging the traditional gender roles of her time.
The composition of the painting, with Mary Beale at the center, her husband slightly behind her, and their son at her side, reflects the family dynamics and the support system that enabled her to pursue her career. The inclusion of her husband and son in the painting also emphasizes the collaborative nature of her work, as Charles Beale was known to prepare her canvases and keep detailed records of her commissions, while their son was involved in her artistic practice from a young age.
"Self Portrait with Husband and Son c.1659-60" is a testament to Mary Beale's pioneering role as a professional female artist and her contribution to the art of portraiture. The painting is held in high esteem for its historical and cultural significance, providing a window into the life of a woman who broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of female artists.
