EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Joseph Chinard, created around 1810, was intended to adorn his tomb in the cemetery of Loyasse in Lyon. The terracotta sculpture measures 59x19.5x20 cm and is currently housed at the Bibliothèque Paul-Marmottan in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. Chinard's self-portrait showcases his remarkable talent as a sculptor and artist. In this half-length depiction, he captures himself with great precision and attention to detail. Dressed in elegant robes, Chinard exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. The artist's facial expression reveals a sense of introspection and contemplation. His eyes gaze into the distance, perhaps reflecting on his artistic journey or contemplating the legacy he will leave behind. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of Chinard's contribution to the world of art during his lifetime. As we admire this self-portrait today, we are transported back to early 19th-century France, where artists like Chinard were pushing boundaries and shaping the artistic landscape. Though originally intended for personal use on his tombstone, this masterpiece now resides within a prestigious collection that allows us to appreciate its beauty and significance. It stands as a testament not only to Chinard's skill but also to the enduring power of art itself.
