EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Maurice Quentin de la Tour, titled "Self Portrait with the bull's-eye" showcases the artist's exceptional talent and unique style. Created in 1737 using pastel, this print captures the essence of de la Tour as both an artist and a man. In this composition, de la Tour presents himself in his working costume, providing us with a glimpse into his artistic process. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of pastel seems to breathe life into the portrait. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to his features, emphasizing his piercing gaze. The title "Self Portrait with the bull's-eye" refers to the circular target-like shape behind him known as an "oeil de boeuf". This element not only serves as a visual focal point but also symbolizes precision and accuracy - qualities that are essential for any artist aiming for greatness. Displayed at Musee d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva, Switzerland, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. It is a testament to de la Tour's skill as a French painter, pastelist, and portraitist. As we admire this self-portrait print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com , we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the genius of Maurice Quentin de la Tour.
