This print showcases the enigmatic "Self Portrait N070583" painting, housed in APSLEY HOUSE, London. The artwork depicts an unknown painter holding a palette and brushes, representing the essence of artistic creation. Belonging to the Flemish School and dated back to 1596, this masterpiece is believed to be the work of Cornelis Ketel (1548-1616), although it portrays a much younger man than expected for that time period. The provenance of this remarkable piece is intriguingly linked to the Spanish Royal Collection. It was captured during the Battle of Vitoria in 1813, adding a layer of historical significance to its already rich narrative. Acquired by Historic England Photo Library in 1948 through WM 1628-1948, this photograph preserves not only the image but also its cultural heritage. The meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors showcased in this self-portrait exemplify Dutch and Flemish painting traditions from centuries ago. The artist's gaze captures our attention as we are drawn into his world filled with creativity and introspection. Through this photo print, Historic England invites us on a visual journey through time – connecting us with artistry that transcends generations. It serves as a testament to human expression and reminds us of our shared history across borders.
