{"product_id":"self-portrait-in-studio-arnold-bocklin","title":"Self-Portrait in Studio - Arnold Böcklin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1893 self-portrait by Swiss Symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin, depicting the artist in his studio with his palette and brushes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArnold Böcklin, a central figure in 19th-century Symbolist painting, produced this self-portrait in 1893. The work depicts the artist within his working environment, positioned before a blank canvas. He holds a palette and brush, presenting himself as a practitioner engaged in the act of creation. His gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting a moment of contemplation or observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured around the verticality of the canvas and the heavy, dark drapery that frames the right side of the image. Böcklin wears a dark jacket over patterned trousers, a choice that provides a contrast to the muted tones of the studio background. The lighting is focused, illuminating his face and the upper portion of his attire, while the edges of the studio recede into shadow. This use of light draws attention to the artist's features and his tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBöcklin was known for his mythological and allegorical subjects, yet this portrait remains grounded in the reality of his daily practice. The inclusion of the blank canvas serves as a reminder of the potential inherent in the artistic process. The painting reflects the technical precision and atmospheric quality characteristic of his later period. By documenting his own appearance and workspace, Böcklin provides a direct record of his identity as an artist during his final decade. The work is held in the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it forms part of the institution's extensive series of artist self-portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/symbolic-head-odilon-redon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSymbolic Head - Odilon Redon — Odilon Redon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/roger-marx-eugene-carriere\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRoger Marx - Eugène Carrière — Eugène Carrière\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arnold Böcklin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58827298406735,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58827299979599,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58827300012367,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58827300045135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58827300077903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58827300110671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58827300143439,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58827300176207,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58827300208975,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58827300241743,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58827300274511,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58827300307279,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-Portrait-in-Studio_Poster_CompositorV1_1789884305883.jpg?v=1789884986","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/self-portrait-in-studio-arnold-bocklin","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
