EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the self-portrait of Michiel van Musscher, a renowned painter from the 17th century. The artist is depicted within an elaborate allegorical frame, surrounded by symbolic elements that convey profound meaning. Standing confidently with his paint stick in hand, Michiel captures the essence of his artistic prowess. The presence of Father Time, adorned with wings and holding a scythe, signifies the transient nature of life and serves as a reminder that time passes swiftly. In contrast to this transitory period, children putti blowing bubbles represent the concept of "homo bulla" or "man is a bubble" symbolizing the fragility and ephemeral nature of human existence. Through carefully chosen allegorical symbols such as an hourglass indicating life's passing moments and various artist attributes like palette, brushes, and easel; Michiel reveals his greatness as an artist while contemplating themes related to immortality and fame. Accompanied by a verse tablet draped in cloth which hints at hidden depths within him; this self-portrait offers viewers a glimpse into Michiel's introspective world. Created in 1685 by Quint Lox - an accomplished printmaker and draftsman - this print beautifully captures every intricate detail of Michiel van Musscher's masterpiece
