Self-Portrait with Fur-Trimmed Robe, 1500

Albrecht Dürer

Oil paint, lime panel · 67.1 x 48.9 cm

Dürer paints himself frontal and Christ-like, staking his claim as an artist-genius.

Dürer paints himself frontally, fur-collared and Christlike, meeting us with unsettling directness — a radical claim for the dignity of the artist in 1500. Meticulous to every strand of hair, it is one of the most arresting self-portraits ever made.
