EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait, created around 1490 by Israhel van Meckenem the Younger, showcases not only the artist's remarkable talent but also his deep affection for his wife Ida. The print, now housed in the esteemed collection of Albertina in Vienna, transports us back to a time when fine art images were meticulously etched onto copper plates. In this intimate portrayal, Israhel and Ida stand side by side against a neutral background. Their gazes meet with an undeniable tenderness that speaks volumes about their bond. Israhel captures every intricate detail of their appearance - from Ida's elegant bonnet to the delicate features on their faces. It is evident that he wanted to immortalize this moment of shared love and companionship. As one explores this early Netherlandish artwork further, it becomes apparent that Israhel was a master of graphic arts. His skillful use of copper engraving brings depth and texture to the composition while maintaining an overall sense of harmony. The significance of this self-portrait lies not only in its artistic excellence but also in its ability to transport viewers into the world of Renaissance Netherlands. It offers a glimpse into the lives and emotions of two individuals who lived over five centuries ago – reminding us that love and connection transcend time itself.
