Self-portrait

Maarten van Heemskerck's Self-portrait showcases his mastery of Oil painting on Canvas. Influenced by his teacher Jan van Scorel, Heemskerck's style reflects the Italian-influenced Mannerism (late renaissance), characterized by elongated figures and refined details. Created during his career in Haarlem, this Self-portrait captures the artist's introspective demeanor, revealing the confidence and technical skill that marked his work, especially his depictions inspired by the Wonders of the World.
