Late-nineteenth-century books about the French artist W(1684-1721) betray a curios blind spot: more than any single artist before or since, W provided his age with an influential image of itself, and the 19th century writers accepted this image as genuine. ====================================================================
This is the first sentence of the passage. What does "itself" refer or mean?

“image of itself” 自己的形象。
itself 指 French artist W。

Why not "image of himself" or "herself"?

in itself/of itself
used for emphasizing that what you are saying about one particular thing is true without even considering anything else
eg:
Some of the medicines were out of date, which was in itself dangerous.
Using someone else’s name is not of itself a crime, unless there is an intention to commit a fraud.
Pride only hurts, it never helps.
It will shock you how much it never happened.
