Venezia Unica
Self-Portrait
Dorsoduro
- Artist: Rosalba Carriera
- Location: Self-Portrait
- Date: 1740 - 1745
The painting was created, most probably, just before the venetian portraitist Rosalba Carriera fell into a state of crisis that she defined as “the loss of reason” or “the tragedy”. The face which emerges from an indistinct background, in fact, seems tired and deformed, almost a prediction of the blindness that would overcome the painter in 1746.
