EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Joseph Werner, created in 1662, showcases the artist's remarkable talent and attention to detail. The print, rendered on vellum with pen and ink as well as watercolor, beautifully captures Werner's likeness and artistic prowess. In this intriguing composition, Werner stands proudly next to his easel adorned with a majestic lion sculpture. With one hand pointing towards his work of art, he exudes confidence and passion for his craft. The miniature painting displayed on the easel reveals a scene from ancient Rome—a temple surrounded by cherubs or putti. Werner's self-portrait not only showcases his technical skill but also provides insight into the artist's personality and interests. His choice to depict himself alongside symbols of power (the lion) and classical beauty (the Roman temple) suggests an admiration for history and mythology. The use of watercolor adds depth and vibrancy to the image while enhancing its ethereal quality. This delicate medium perfectly complements the intricate details found throughout the artwork. Displayed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London as part of The Stapleton Collection, this print is a testament to Joseph Werner's enduring legacy as an accomplished painter. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries—transcending time, space, and even mediums like pen & ink & w/c on vellum—to capture moments of creativity frozen in time.
