Self-portrait 2 (Stuck)

This formidable artwork, “Self-portrait 2”, opens the doors to the creative intimacy of Franz von Stuck. The artist depicts himself in profile in his rich studio, palette and brush in hand. With an undeniable classical presence, dressed in a dark suit and stiff collar, he observes with concentration a glowing red canvas depicting a nude body. The background is teeming with architectural and artistic details: elegant ancient friezes adorn the top of the walls, while a magnificent coffered ceiling dominates the room. The artwork bears witness to the high status achieved by von Stuck and his passion for the aesthetics of classical antiquity. A sophisticated and masterfully executed interior scene.
