Portrait of a lady
EDITORIAL for The Cold Magazine (2025)
"Portrait of a Lady" is a classic XVI century painting by Hans Baldung, part of the Thyssen Museum's collection in Madrid. This portrait exemplifies medieval ideals of feminine beauty, highlighting the subject's elegance and dignity.
The idea is to reinterpret a portrait of a woman in a contemporary image. Similar to Cindy Sherman's self-portraits, where she stages herself in various costumes and poses, she questions identity and modes of representation. She rejects the notion of fixed social types embedded in society.
