EDITORS COMMENTS
Selfportrait, 1771" is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned Swedish artist Per Hillestrom the Elder, also known as Pehr Hilleström. This masterpiece, created during the Rococo era of the 18th century, showcases the artist in his prime, both as an artist and as a man. Per Hillestrom, born in 1712, was a prolific painter of portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes. His works are characterized by their rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, making this self-portrait a testament to his artistic skill and heritage. In this self-portrait, Hillestrom is depicted in three-quarter view, wearing a simple white shirt, a dark waistcoat, and a fur-trimmed robe. His gaze is steady and direct, inviting the viewer into a connection with the artist himself. The background is a softly rendered landscape, with a hint of a forest and a winding river, suggesting the artist's love for nature and the natural world. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate brushwork are a reflection of the Rococo style, which emphasized elegance, grace, and ornamentation. Hillestrom's self-portrait is a prime example of the artist's ability to capture not only the physical likeness of himself but also the essence of his character and the spirit of the time. This self-portrait by Per Hillestrom is an invaluable addition to the heritage of Swedish art and a testament to the artist's enduring legacy. It invites us to reflect on the life and work of a man who, through his art, continues to captivate and inspire us over two centuries later.
