Jan Gossaert (c.1478–1532) merged the Netherlandish devotion to detail with the grandeur of the Italian High Renaissance, creating what might be called a monumentality of the particular. His Portrait of a Merchant (c.1539) captures a tradesman in an intimate interior, surrounded by the instruments of his profession.
In The Phases series, Otto Lundbladh reimagines Gossaert’s world of texture and individuality through digital transformation. His interpretation turns the merchant’s quiet self-possession into a meditation on contemporary identity, where material detail and personal image converge in new forms of self-portraiture.
