Dialogue of oils: comparative proposal between Marc Chagall’s Self-Portrait in green and Paolo Veronese’s Portrait of Isabella Guerrieri Gonzaga Canossa
Abstract
During his first period in Paris (1910-1914), the russian painter Marc Chagall met, most of all at the Louvre Museum, the masters of western painting, as he wrote in “My life”, his autobiography.
The case in study, which is the influence of the artist Paolo Caliari in the artwork of the russian painter, reveals the fact that even though historiography has overlooked the quotes of artists present in ‘My life’, it’s interpretation under the concept of tradition of Ernst Gombrich shows the relevance that the russian gave to the artworks he met at the french capital, proposing an alternative vision to the idea of the rebel and vanguardist artist that was created around Chagall’s figure in the twentieth century.
