Parmigianino Self Portrait (?) Debate in Parma
October 21 2025
Picture: Galleria nazionale di Parma
Posted by Adam Busiakeiwicz:
The Galleria nazionale di Parma have just opened a display dedicated to investigating the attribution of the following painting, which during the 19th and early 20th centuries was considered by some to be a Self Portrait by Parmigianino. The work, which has been kept in storage for many years, has been placed alongside a fragment of St John the Baptist by Michelangelo Anselmi (1491-1556), to whom some scholars have also attributed the work. The display will be on view until 11th January 2026, if you'd like to make your own decision on the attribution!
