이젤 앞의 자화상
1556
Sofonisba Anguissola painted this striking self-portrait around 1556, boldly presenting herself not as a noblewoman, but as a working artist—a rare move for a woman in the Renaissance. Dressed in modest black with a crisp white collar, she gazes confidently at the viewer while holding her brushes and palette, caught in the act of painting a tender scene of the Virgin and Child. This wasn't just a display of technical skill; it was a clever statement of her piety and professional identity. Anguissola became one of the first internationally famous female artists, even catching the eye of Michelangelo, who praised her talent and mentored her from afar.
