I always like to compare an artists self-portrait with the real thing - too bad we can’t do that with many old masters. But in the case of Matisse we can … great beard Henri!

Herr Dürer is simply a God of Art. He paints and draws like none other. Too bad his great skills were wasted during the Dark Ages. This is his self-portrait aged 28.

All I can say: bloody brilliant! Maestro Minkkinnen has many great shots in his portfolio - but this one really made me laugh out load. But he seems in general to have a great sense of humor - and a very unique and enjoyable point of view!

A strange moment. It’s hard to say if he is happy or sad, in balance or in misery.
