Public domain art from the Toledo Museum of Art, digitally enhanced from the original in high resolution. Oil on wood panel.
Remarkably inventive, this unusual double portrait plays with sophisticated concepts of absence and presence and of the role of the viewer. In this painting Dirck Jacobsz. depicts his parents. His father Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen, who was also an artist, is shown painting a portrait of Jacobsz's mother, Anna.
Though Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen had died in 1533, his wife lived until about 1550, the same time this panel was painted. Traditionally, portraits were seen as a way of making the absent present, if only in effigy. If Jacobsz. did paint this panel after his mother's death, he may allude to this function of portraiture by depicting his mother as a portrait within a portrait, brought "to life" simultaneously by her painter husband and by her painter son.
The ultimate function of this double portrait was likely as a memorial installed above the couple's tomb in a church. The format of the painting ingeniously incorporates the viewer in its fiction.

CLICK FOR TIPS
When buying artworks figure out what you like. If you're just buying something you love, it's not difficult to make a decision!
If you hang an artwork at home and it doesn’t feel right, move it. Try putting it in different places, and see if it strikes an interesting dialogue with other works on your wall. Smaller artworks often work well near light switches, or hung low over a small piece of furniture like a bedside table.
Grouping works together can be really effective. Test out a group of frames by arranging them on the floor or a table top. If you’re feeling pro, use masking tape to mark out your very own tightly packed grouping!
