EDITORS COMMENTS
In this self-portrait, Spanish artist Luis Egidio Menendez or Melendez (1716-80) presents himself as both the creator and subject of his art. The painting, titled "Self Portrait Holding a Nude Study" was completed in 1746 and is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Measuring 99.5x82 cm, the oil on canvas composition showcases Menendez's exceptional talent as he skillfully captures his own likeness while simultaneously holding a delicate nude study. The artist's confident gaze meets our eyes with intensity and determination, revealing his passion for his craft. Clad in a bandana-turned-headscarf that adds an air of artistic flair to his appearance, Menendez portrays himself as a dedicated painter immersed in the creative process. His half-length pose further emphasizes his focus on capturing every detail of the human form before him. This remarkable self-portrait not only serves as evidence of Menendez's technical prowess but also offers us a glimpse into the mind and soul of this talented Spanish artist. Through this work, he invites us to witness both his mastery over brush and palette and his deep connection with the world of art.
