This self-portrait, in addition to its simply resplendent beauty, is a clear and articulate commentary on the Romantic artist.[2]
Goya finds it unnecessary to look at the canvas while he paints; inspiration alone guides his brush. Goya stands aside, is indeed enveloped by, a grandly lit window like the one that serves as a metaphor for Christ's holiness in Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, and moreover, one through which the natural world is decidedly not visible. The art historian, John J. Ciofalo, writes: "with thick coats of radiant white paint, Goya has literally and figuratively brushed "the outside world" out of existence or, at a minimum, demoted it to irrelevance."[3]
To underscore this, Goya has no need, and yet is wearing his night painting hat, affixed with a "halo" of candles to crown his Romantic imagination. In short, as Ciofalo writes, "that is not daylight coming in the window...the radiance is coming from inside the studio, from inside the Romantic artist's mind."[4]

[es] Autorretrato ante su caballete
Autorretrato ante el caballete, también conocido como Autorretrato en el taller (1790-1795) es un cuadro de pequeño formato de Francisco de Goya (42 x 28 cm) de los llamados «de gabinete» —no parece responder a ningún encargo— en el que el pintor se retrata de cuerpo entero a contraluz en su estudio pintando un gran lienzo. Este cuadro es, muy posiblemente, el propio autorretrato que contemplamos, en el que Goya aparece de perfil y mirando hacia el espectador.[fr] Autoportrait dans l'atelier
Autoportrait dans l'atelier (en espagnol : Autorretrato en el taller) est une huile sur toile de petit format réalisée par Francisco de Goya entre 1790 et 1795. Semblable à ces tableaux de cabinet par la taille, ce n'est pas une commande. Goya se peint en entier à contre-jour dans un studio et en train de peindre une grande toile tout en regardant le spectateur. La toile de dos serait selon le contexte de la création de l'autoportrait soit un portrait de bourgeois, soit une tapisserie. Elle peut aussi être une toile symbolique qui n'a jamais existé.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
