| Research Abstract |
In this study, I concerned the process from the 13^<th> century to Durer through book-illuminations, altarpieces and portraits. In altarpieces of the earliest period, the donor's relationship to the sacred was rather week as it was described as small kneeling figure at the feet of Madonna. A religious conception that a painting is a visual style inspiring spiritual reading emerged in the middle of the 12^<th> century. In the altarpieces influenced by this concept, guardian saints play important roles in meditating between the donor and Madonna, in the delusional process inspired by spiritual reading.

Furthermore, Jan painted "Madonna of Chancellor Rolin", in which he represented the donor's spiritual inner life and outer world as a form of altarpiece with landscape. After Jan, Roger van der Weyden drew the donor as a close up sitter-figure praying devotedly to the Virgin and Christ in a pair of panels which was called "devotional portrait" by E.Panofsky. Dirc Bouts painted "a portrait of a man", in which the sitter was placed in the corner of the room, one wall of which is pierced by a window, which makes contrast with portraits before his work that adopted a plain dark back ground. The most important reason why Durer succeeded in creating self-portrait is that he digested the essence of the above-mentioned development and added new elements - human desire and spirit of his time. Subjective creation of self-portrait was possible only for Durer who was an independent and creative person forming himself and pursued the mission of an artist earnestly. Less
