In the self-portrait, the paper with its poetic text occupies the place of the face in the image which 'Mor' seems about to paint on the easel, and there are subtle formal parallels between the inscribed sheet and the artist's head directly opposite. They are similar not only in position and relative size, but also in their level of illumination, sharp tonal contrast around the edges of nose and paper, and even their still fresh but slightly creased surfaces. In replacing the portrait image that 'Mor' will ultimately realize on the prepared panel, the poem could thus be said to speak for the artist. For beholders who could decipher and translate the language of marks and flourishes made by the pen, this is what it said: It is, in fact, as if the Greek poem has been placed to 'presently speak' the artist's virtues, articulating his claims to fame.

Commonly called ANTONIO MORO, or ANTHONIS MORE, a Dutchpainter, b. at Utrecht in 1519; d. at Antwerp, between 1576 and 1578. Of his early life we only know that his artistic education was commenced under Jan van Scorel, and his earliest work is probably the portrait at Stockholm, dated 1538. Recent investigations would indicate that the group of knights of St. John, at Utrecht, supposed to have been painted about 1541, and a picture of two pilgrims at Berlin, dated 1544, together with the portrait of a woman unknown, in the Lille gallery, were probably among his earliest works, although their authenticity has not been proven. In 1547, he was received as a member of the Venerable Guild of St. Luke at Antwerp, and shortly afterwards (a
