Young Woman Drawing, 1801, thought to be her
self-portrait, and her most famous and finest
painting.
Self-portrait with a Palette, 1880 was a Russian
born artist who died at twenty-five. A large
number of Bashkirtseff's works were destroyed by
the Nazis during World War II

Vincent Van Gogh, 1889
  • You can't be at the pole and the equator at the
    same time. You must choose your own line, as I
    hope to do, and it will probably be colour.
  • If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot
    paint," then by all means paint and that voice
    will be silenced.
  • What would life be if we had no courage to
    attempt anything?

mirror glass mirrors became available in Europe
in the 15th century. The first mirrors used were
convex, introducing deformations that the artist
sometimes preserved. A painting by Parmigianino
in 1524 Self-portrait in a mirror, demonstrates
the phenomenon.
