EDITORS COMMENTS
Self Portrait, also known as 'The So-called Portrait of Jan Fabus,' is a captivating oil on paper painting created by the renowned Dutch artist Moses ter Borch between 1660 and 1661. This masterpiece from the Dutch Golden Age showcases Ter Borch in a self-depiction, dressed in fashionable attire of the seventeenth century. The young man wears a red hat adorned with a feather, a long, flowing coat, and a white collar, adding to the grandeur of the artwork. Ter Borch's self-portrait is not only an exceptional representation of the artist himself but also a testament to the artistic heritage of the Low Countries during this historic period. The painting's title, 'The So-called Portrait of Jan Fabus,' is a subject of debate among art historians. Some believe that the painting was originally intended as a portrait of Jan Fabus, a friend or patron of Ter Borch, while others argue that it was always meant to be a self-portrait. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the painting's original title, there is no denying the mischievous expression on Ter Borch's face, which adds an element of intrigue and playfulness to the artwork. This young man, with his red hat and roguish grin, invites the viewer to ponder the true meaning behind the painting's title and the artist's intentions. A visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where this painting is housed, is a must for anyone interested in European art history. The Self Portrait of Moses ter Borch, with its rich colors, intriguing history, and captivating subject matter, is a testament to the artistic genius of the Dutch Golden Age.
