At ArtsDot.com, we are proud to offer a stunning reproduction of one of the most iconic works of Mannerist art: Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror by Parmigianino.
About the Artist
Francesco Mazzola, called Parmigianino (1503-1540) was an Italian painter and printmaker who played a crucial role in the development of Mannerism. He is known for his elegant figures, elongated forms, and intricate ornamentation.
About the Painting
Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror (c. 1524) is a masterpiece of Mannerist art that showcases Parmigianino's extraordinary skill and creativity. The painting depicts the artist himself, aged 21, gazing into a convex mirror that distorts his reflection in a fascinating way.
The hand in the foreground is greatly elongated and distorted by the mirror, while the background is blurred and indistinct. This creates a sense of depth and movement that is both captivating and disorienting.
The painting was created on a specially-prepared convex panel in order to mimic the curve of the mirror used. It is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.
