"Ritratto Allegorico del Cantante Marcantonio Pasqualini Incoronato da Apollo" (Allegorical Portrait of the Singer Marcantonio Pasqualini Crowned by Apollo) is a celebrated oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Andrea Sacchi, created circa 1630. This work is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and stands as a significant example of 17th-century Italian portraiture, blending realism with allegorical elements to convey the subject's virtues and accomplishments.

The painting depicts Marcantonio Pasqualini (1614–1691), a renowned castrato singer of the Baroque era, being crowned by Apollo, the god of music, poetry, and the arts, symbolizing Pasqualini's excellence and divine favor in his musical career. Pasqualini, a celebrated figure in the Roman cultural scene, was a favorite among the artistic and noble circles, and his portrayal by Sacchi underscores the high esteem in which he was held.

Sacchi's work is notable for its refined composition and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which lend the painting a serene and harmonious quality. The inclusion of Apollo, along with the presence of a putto writing Pasqualini's name in a laurel wreath, imbues the portrait with an allegorical depth, suggesting the immortality of the singer's fame and the divine inspiration behind his artistry.

"Ritratto Allegorico del Cantante Marcantonio Pasqualini Incoronato da Apollo" is not only a testament to Sacchi's skill as a portraitist but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of 17th-century Rome, where music and the arts were intertwined with notions of divine inspiration and aristocratic patronage. This painting remains a significant work for scholars studying the Baroque period, offering a window into the era's aesthetic values and the social status of musicians within the Italian courts.
