FEUERBACH, Anselm Friedrich: Self-Portrait

🖼 Self-Portrait, 1854-58
Oil on canvas
92 × 73 cm
St. Petersburg, Russia

Dark tones frame an introspective gaze, with bold brushwork defining the artist's contemplative features against a shadowed background. Feuerbach's psychological intensity reflects 19th-century German Romanticism's focus on inner emotional truth over idealized representation.
