Self-Portrait II" is a painting by Albrecht Durer, a prominent German artist of the Renaissance period. Completed in 1500, this masterpiece is considered one of Durer's most iconic self-portraits. The painting is noted for its detailed and realistic representation of the artist himself, and is regarded as one of the earliest examples of self-portraiture in Western art history.

"Self-Portrait II" measures 67.1 cm × 48.3 cm and is oil on panel. It is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek, a museum situated in Munich, Germany. The artist depicted himself frontally, in a style that recalls representations of Christ. The innovative composition and exquisite details of the work echoed the evolving dynamics of self-awareness and individualism that marked the Renaissance period.

Durer's inscriptions in the painting, "I, Albrecht Durer of Nuremberg painted myself thus, with undying colors, at the age of twenty-eight years" adds to the intimate and personal nature of the piece. Influenced by the Italian Renaissance, the significant shift from the traditional style of portraiture can be observed in the way Durer emphasized individualistic features and expressions.

The technical mastery of Durer is visible in the deft handling of lights and shades as well as the precise delineation of textures in the painting. From the fur collar to the curled hair strands, each feature in the painting spells out Durer's meticulous observation and detailed representation technique. The painting stands as an exemplar of Durer's contribution to the progress of art and portraiture during the Renaissance period.
