Albrecht Dürer, a pivotal figure of the Northern Renaissance, is renowned for his exceptional skills in painting, printmaking, and engraving. Among his most celebrated works is the "Self-Portrait" (German: "Selbstbildnis"), often referred to as "Autoportrait De Durer." This self-portrait, created in 1500, is one of the most iconic and frequently analyzed works in the history of Western art. Painted when Dürer was 28 years old, the portrait is notable for its striking realism and the artist's confident, almost Christ-like depiction of himself.

The "Self-Portrait" is housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. It is an oil painting on a wooden panel, measuring 67.1 cm by 48.9 cm. The portrait is remarkable for its frontal pose, which was unconventional for the time, as most portraits were done in profile or three-quarter view. Dürer's direct gaze and the symmetry of his face and hair create a powerful and almost confrontational image. The artist's hand, prominently displayed in the foreground, further emphasizes his role as a creator.

Dürer's choice to depict himself in such a manner has been the subject of much scholarly debate. Some art historians interpret the portrait as a statement of the artist's self-awareness and his elevated status in society, akin to that of a divine creator. The inscription on the painting, which translates to "I, Albrecht Dürer of Nuremberg, painted myself thus, with undying colors, at the age of 28 years," underscores this interpretation, suggesting a sense of permanence and immortality.

The painting also reflects Dürer's deep engagement with the humanist ideals of the Renaissance. His meticulous attention to detail, the realistic rendering of textures, and the use of light and shadow demonstrate his mastery of the techniques that were revolutionizing art during this period. The "Self-Portrait" is not only a testament to Dürer's technical prowess but also a profound exploration of identity, self-perception, and the role of the artist in society.
