About the Item

Autorretrato como San Pablo is a contemporary artwork created in 2023 by Spanish artist Manuel Cruz. The piece belongs to the Ralph Lauren collection developed by the artist, a body of work in which he intervenes directly on reproductions of historical paintings found in art history books. For this work, Cruz uses a paper reproduction of Rembrandt’s Autorretrato como San Pablo, altering the image with acrylic paint and reinterpreting it through the visual codes and motifs of Ralph Lauren. By dressing historical figures in contemporary fashion imagery, the artist creates a deliberate anachronism that bridges art history and popular culture, transforming the original image into a new, culturally layered statement. The work reflects Cruz’s ongoing interest in decontextualization and appropriation, mixing canonical references with symbols of contemporary desire and identity. His practice offers a personal and critical reflection on society, consumer culture, and the construction of visual heritage. The framed piece measures 45.5 × 50.5 cm, with the painted image measuring 20 × 27 cm. Conceived as a one-of-a-kind intervention, the artwork stands as a dialogue between past and present, tradition and reinvention.
