| Итог: | The Self-Portrait and Representation of the Self in the Middle Ages: Matthieu d’Arras and Prague CathedralIn the history of physical representation of the artist in the Middle Ages, the case of Matthieu d’Arras has a special place. Matthieu d’Arras was the first master mason of St Vitus Cathedral in Prague from 1342/1344 until his death in 1352 and, thanks to the bust representing him in the triforium of the cathedral’s chevet, the first medieval architect whose features are known to us. This bust represents the birth of the self-portrait in 15th-century art, a phenomenon that has so far been examined from an exclusively Italian perspective, but which belongs at the end of a long process wherein the face emerged in gothic architecture. At the same time, a new awareness of self by the artist was crystallizing. |
