You are right, some of the best portraits are more than just a likeness of the sitter, they look into the person's soul and create something more lasting than just a simple portrait picture. All paintings by Rembrandt sell for a lot these days! Two small portraits by him sold $14 million last week.
Amazing works. My favorite is Marie-Denise Villers' self-portrait... love the window and the couple in the background. Arnold Blöcklin's is very impressive too. Another excellent video. 🙂
What a great overview. I always presumed that Durer was the first one to paint this, so the part about Van Eyck was an eye-opener. My favorite in the video were the works by Rembrandt. And I also love the work Triple Self-Portrait by Norman Rockwell.
As mentioned, Dürer was the one who really turned the self-portraits into a new genre, as there is always some uncertainty about the works of Van Eyck. And Rockwell's work is great. I love how he pays homage to the masters of this genre by including little self portraits of Dürer, Picasso, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh. I did not include this work in the overview as it is still protected by copyright, which is the reason I ended the overview at the beginning of the 20th century.
@@AmuzeArt The abundance and variety of portraits from Van Gogh and Kahlo makes them both very interesting. A personal favourite might however be Norman Rockwells self portrait for capturing the process very well. One gets a humorous feeling thinking about the many moments that an artisit will have looking at oneself, and probably making quite a few faces in the process.
Yes, I totally agree that Rockwell made a brilliant work there, showing it from different angels, paying homage to his predecessors, and adding the humor. I did not include it in the overview as the work is still protected by copyright..
Thank you! I would love to see a longer version that includes post modern artists as well!
Thanks for the suggestion. It's always a bit tricky to include more recent art, because those works are still protected by copyright.
自画像は画家の内面をそのまま写し取ったもの、というのは現代人の思い込みの部分があるそうですね。ゴッホとレンブラント ファン レインは自画像を多く残した画家だと本で読みました。写真より深いと思いますが...
ところで、数日前レンブラントの世に出ていなかった作品が発見されたそうですね。オークションで高額だったとか？
ビデオ勉強になります。ありがとうございます。

That is a lot of very interesting information
Thanks, and I feel that there is so much more to tell about this subject...

Thanks. Those are two of my favorites as well, both are unique and beautiful (in their own ways).

Fantastic video! Great summary of the history of portraits. Definitely coming back to this one now and then
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Do you have any favorite self-portrait in history?
