Essays in SelfPortraiture is the first booklength study devoted entirely to comparing the written selfportrait of Montaigne with the painted selfportraits of another artist, Rembrandt. The author begins by examining the nature of selfportraiture, which he defines in relationship to biography, autobiography and portraiture. Thereafter he examines the origin and nature of selfportraiture as a toponymical phenomenon. By pairing specific selfportraits, the author compares Rembrandt and Montaigne in terms of courtiership and in terms of religious wisdom and ignorance. The book closes by showing how both artists used dissimilarity in their selfportraits. By selectively embracing and rejecting certain exemplars, Montaigne and Rembrandt constructed two of our most complete examples of the early modern self.
