| Description |
English: Courbet painted many self-portraits. In the course of the 19th century, self-portraits became increasingly popular. In art circles in Paris, they played a key role in defining the self-image of artists of the era, and in launching artists’ careers on the increasingly competitive art market. In his early self-portraits, Courbet often appears as various theatrical characters – here he is seen in a melancholic, dreamy pose. When The Cellist was shown at the Paris Salon in 1848, the critics noted a resemblance between the claire-obscure of this painting and Rembrandt’s self-portraits. Svenska: Courbet målade en lång rad självporträtt. Under 1800-talets lopp blev också självporträtten allt vanligare. I Paris konstliv spelade de en central roll i formandet av tidens konstnärsidentitet och i lanserandet av ett konstnärskap på stadens hårdnande konstmarknad. I sina tidiga självporträtt framträder Courbet ofta i skiftande teatrala roller – här i en melankoliskt drömmande pose. När Violoncellisten visades på Parissalongen 1848 uppmärksammade den samtida kritiken ett släktskap mellan porträttets ljusdunkelmåleri och Rembrandts självporträtt. |
