Individual, rank and humanism · The face during the Renaissance
From Van Eyck and Van der Weyden to Raphael and Holbein, the resurgent portrait affirms identity through the gaze, the hands, the attributes and a new attention to individual presence.
Renaissance portraiture developed with humanism, European courts, and the social affirmation of the individual. In the ancient Netherlands, Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden used oil painting to clarify skin, fabrics, jewelry, and light with new intensity. In Italy, Raphael's natural balance of gesture, harmony of forms and psychological relationship between figures. Hans Holbein the Younger takes the art of court portraiture to an exceptional degree of precision. Nicolas Kratzer is surrounded by his astronomer's instruments, Erasmus appears in the act of writing and William Warham is defined by his ecclesiastical dignity. Every detail becomes a sign: book, compass, clothing, ring or background constructs status as much as physiognomy. The "Renaissance Portraits" selection notably compares Portrait of Nicolas Kratzer - Hans Holbein the Younger and Portrait of William Warham - Hans Holbein the Younger. His reading favors the story.
In the Renaissance, resembling is no longer enough: the portrait must also make visible a function, a culture and a way of inhabiting the world.
