Andrea Appiani, the Elder, was an eminent Italian neoclassical painter, renowned for his portraits and historical compositions. His self-portrait, often referred to as "Self Portrait by Andrea Appiani, the Elder," is a significant work that offers insight into the artist's self-perception and artistic style. Born in 1754 in Milan, Appiani became one of the leading painters of his time, particularly noted for his association with Napoleon Bonaparte, for whom he served as a court painter.

The self-portrait, believed to have been created in the early 19th century, exemplifies Appiani's mastery of neoclassical techniques and his ability to convey character and emotion through portraiture. In this work, Appiani presents himself with a calm and composed demeanor, reflecting the intellectual and artistic ideals of the neoclassical movement. The portrait is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, balanced composition, and the subtle use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism.

Appiani's self-portrait not only serves as a personal reflection but also as a testament to his skill and status as an artist. The painting captures the essence of neoclassical aesthetics, emphasizing clarity, harmony, and restraint. Appiani's choice of attire and the setting in the portrait further underscore his identity as a cultured and sophisticated individual, deeply engaged with the artistic and intellectual currents of his time.

The self-portrait is housed in a prominent art collection, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance.
