"Ritratto Allegorico del Cantante Marcantonio Pasqualini" (Allegorical Portrait of the Singer Marcantonio Pasqualini) is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Andrea Sacchi. Created in 1630, the artwork is a notable example of Baroque portraiture that blends realism with allegorical elements. The painting is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The subject of the painting, Marcantonio Pasqualini (1614–1691), was a renowned castrato singer of the Baroque era, celebrated for his vocal prowess and performances in the operatic and musical circles of Rome. In Sacchi's portrait, Pasqualini is depicted in a moment of artistic inspiration, crowned with laurel by Apollo, the ancient Greek god of music and poetry, which signifies the singer's excellence and fame. The presence of Apollo also alludes to the divine source of Pasqualini's talent and the high esteem in which the arts were held during the Baroque period.

Sacchi's portrayal of Pasqualini is notable for its refined elegance and the sensitive rendering of the singer's features, capturing both his professional persona and personal character. The painting's composition, with its use of chiaroscuro and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, exemplifies the Baroque style's dramatic effects and focus on emotional expression.

The "Ritratto Allegorico del Cantante Marcantonio Pasqualini" is considered an important work in Sacchi's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual symbolism. The painting is not only a tribute to an individual artist's achievements but also a representation of the broader cultural milieu of 17th-century Rome, where art and music were integral to both public and private life.
