More about this artwork

We are thrilled to present "Self-Portrait" (1896-1900), a compelling work by the renowned Polish artist Leon Wyczółkowski. This painting is a powerful display of self-examination and the mastery of portraiture.In this self-portrait, Wyczółkowski portrays himself with stark realism combined with vibrant, expressionistic use of color. He stands firmly, facing forward with a piercing gaze that engages the viewer directly. Dressed in a dark vest over a brighter orange garment, he contrasts sharply against a background that transitions from a deep green and brown at the top to a lighter, multicolored scheme at the bottom.Wyczółkowski employs bold brushstrokes and a dynamic color palette to convey his artistic presence and personality. His left hand rests on a cane, while his right hand holds a palette smudged with various colors, suggesting the act of painting itself. The artist dons a casual white hat, which adds a personal touch and a hint of informality to the composition.This self-portrait not only showcases Wyczółkowski's skill as a painter but also reflects his deep self-awareness and commitment to exploring his own identity through art.
