EDITORS COMMENTS
Selbstportrait des französischen Künstlers Sebastien Leclerc (1684-1767) - Mary Evans Picture Library Ref: MEV000355 Sebastien Leclerc (1684-1767) was a renowned French artist of the Baroque period, whose prolific career spanned over eight decades. This self-portrait, created in the mid-18th century, offers a glimpse into the life of this versatile artist. Born in Paris, Leclerc excelled in various artistic mediums, including painting, etching, and engraving. However, it is important to note that this image features the painter Sebastien Leclerc, and not the engraver of the same name, who was born in 1637. The confusion between the two artists is a common occurrence, but their bodies of work are distinct. Leclerc's self-portrait reveals his dedication to his craft, as he holds a palette and brushes in one hand, while his other hand rests on a sketchbook. The artist wears a simple, dark robe and a white collar, reflecting the somber attire of the time. His piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of deep concentration, suggesting the intense focus required to create a masterpiece. Leclerc's artistic style was influenced by the Baroque period, characterized by grandeur, drama, and emotion. His works often depicted historical and mythological scenes, as well as religious subjects. Leclerc's talent was recognized during his lifetime, and he received numerous commissions from the French court and the Church. This self-portrait is a testament to Leclerc's artistic prowess and his commitment to his craft. It also serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France during the Baroque period and the enduring influence of its masters.
