EDITORS COMMENTS
In this self-portrait by Jean-Francois Raffaelli, we are transported back to the year 1893. The French artist skillfully captures his own likeness with a color drypoint technique, showcasing his mastery of printmaking. Raffaelli's self-portrait is an intimate glimpse into the artist's world. His piercing gaze meets ours, revealing a sense of introspection and contemplation. The subtle play of light and shadow adds depth to his features, emphasizing the lines etched on his face that speak of experience and wisdom. Measuring at 59.5 x 42.2 cm, this print commands attention with its size alone. However, it is within the smaller platemark area of 18.8 x 15.7 cm that Raffaelli showcases intricate details and delicate strokes that bring life to his image. The composition exudes a sense of quiet confidence as Raffaelli presents himself in a dignified manner against a neutral background. This simplicity allows us to focus solely on the artist himself - his expression, attire, and even brushstrokes become subjects for exploration. Jean-Francois Raffaelli was known for capturing scenes from everyday life in Paris during the late 19th century through both painting and printmaking techniques like drypoint. This self-portrait serves as not only an artistic achievement but also as a window into Raffaelli's own persona - an enigmatic figure who left behind an enduring legacy
