The Self-portraitThe self-portrait is a genuinely European species of Fine Art, and an extremely topical genre: whether late medieval portrait in the mirror, proud self-representation during the Baroque period, or portrayal of the sentimental self in Romanticism – the separate identity within the image opens up a whole scope of themes that reaches as far as the phenomenon of today's Selfie, shared millionfold on the web. Exhibition and catalogue were designed in an international collaboration of museums in Karlsruhe, Lyon and Edinburgh. A collection of more than 100 works from their collections (paintings, drawings, prints and videos) is dedicated to the many motifs of human self-questioning and self-expression.
