More about this artwork
The painting "Self-portrait" by Bruno Liljefors, created in 1913, offers a fascinating glimpse into the artist's life and environment. This compelling artwork showcases Liljefors not only as a painter but as a figure within the natural landscape he frequently depicted.In this self-portrait, Liljefors is depicted outdoors, hinting at his deep connection with nature. Dressed in a rugged outfit that includes a hat, he holds a rifle, suggesting his interest in hunting—a theme often reflected in his broader body of work which prominently features wildlife. The setting around him is rendered with earthy tones and dynamic brush strokes, typical of Liljefors' style, capturing the wild, untamed nature that inspired much of his work.The intensity of his gaze, directed slightly away from the viewer, adds a reflective, almost introspective quality to the painting. It invites the viewer to contemplate the man behind the canvas—his thoughts, his relationship with the wilderness around him, and his solitude.This self-portrait not only represents Liljefors as an individual but also embodies the themes central to his artistic legacy: the interplay between humans and nature, and the raw beauty of the Scandinavian landscape.
