EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white self-portrait, created by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu in 1796, offers a glimpse into the artist's world. The image showcases Boissieu holding a direct gaze with the viewer, inviting us to explore his inner thoughts and emotions. Set against a rustic country backdrop, two cows accompany him, symbolizing the connection between man and nature. Boissieu's etching technique adds depth and texture to this remarkable artwork. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the pen, capturing not only his physical appearance but also his personality. As an esteemed French artist of the 18th century, Boissieu's self-portrait reflects both his skill as an artist and his contribution to art history. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Boissieu's enduring legacy. It allows us to appreciate his talent while providing insight into the artistic practices of that era. This seventh state print from eight Perez demonstrates how each stage of creation contributes to its final form. As we observe this self-portrait by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu today, we are transported back in time – witnessing not just a moment frozen on paper but also catching a glimpse of the man behind it all.
