Nicolas Régnier法国, 1667Self-Portrait with an Easel
关于这幅画
Régnier depicts himself painting the portrait of a man who may be Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani, his primary patron. Sometime between 1617 and 1620, Régnier left his native Flanders for Rome, where he served as Giustiniani’s official painter. This complex double portrait is possibly the canvas recorded as hanging in the marchese’s dressing room in the Palazzo Giustiniani. Here Régnier affirms the elevated status of the artist by presenting himself with the studied poise and gentlemanly attire of a nobleman from the same social circle as his patron. In this portrait of an artist painting a portrait, both subjects gaze at the viewer, who, in turn, has been transformed into both the subject and the beholder of the work.
