Description: | This work is comparable to the Bohemian painter, Jan Kupecký's self portrait in the Ashmolean. Born into a weaver's family, Kupecký's young life consisted of many hardships, and he eventually found himself scraping a living in Rome by copying portraits. However, by 33 years of age he finally managed to establish his own studio, where he then gained some success as a portrait painter, gradually developing his own distinctive, monumental style. | Subjects: | portrait; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Kupecký, Jan (Bohemian painter, 1667-1740) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Dutch School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8422... | Go to resource |
