"Selbstbildnis," also known as "Self-Portrait," is a renowned work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Painted in 1500, this self-portrait is one of the most iconic and studied works in the history of Western art. It is housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. Dürer, born in 1471 in Nuremberg, was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, known for his contributions to painting, printmaking, and theoretical writings on art.

The "Selbstbildnis" stands out not only for its technical mastery but also for its profound symbolic content. Dürer presents himself in a frontal pose, a format traditionally reserved for depictions of Christ. This choice has sparked extensive scholarly debate, with interpretations ranging from an assertion of the artist's divine inspiration to a statement on the elevated status of the artist in society. The painting's composition, with Dürer's direct gaze and the meticulous rendering of his features, conveys a sense of introspection and self-awareness that was groundbreaking for its time.

Dürer's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail, particularly in the texture of his hair and the fur collar of his garment, exemplify his mastery of oil painting techniques. The inscription on the painting, which includes the date and Dürer's monogram, further emphasizes the artist's self-conscious presentation of his identity and status.

The "Selbstbildnis" is not only a testament to Dürer's skill but also a reflection of the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the Renaissance, where the role of the artist was being redefined. It remains a focal point for discussions on self-representation, the role of the artist, and the intersection of art and identity.
