"Autoritratto" (Self-Portrait) by Annibale Carracci is a renowned self-portrait by the influential Italian Baroque painter, etcher, and printmaker. Born in Bologna in 1560, Annibale Carracci was a pivotal figure in the Baroque movement, known for his realistic approach to the human figure and for breaking away from the rigid Mannerist style that dominated the late Renaissance. The self-portrait is a testament to Carracci's skill in capturing human emotion and his introspective nature.

The painting, which dates from around 1604, depicts the artist with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, a feature that exemplifies the Baroque era's emphasis on the viewer's involvement. Carracci's self-portrait is characterized by a naturalistic representation of his features, a subdued palette, and a masterful use of light and shadow, which contribute to the psychological depth of the work. The artist's expression is contemplative and somber, reflecting a sense of self-awareness and possibly the burden of the creative process.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It was created during a period when the genre of self-portraiture was becoming increasingly popular among artists, who used it as a means of self-expression and self-promotion. Carracci's self-portrait is often compared to those of his contemporaries, such as Caravaggio and Rubens, who also explored their own likenesses in their work.

Annibale Carracci's "Autoritratto" is housed in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. It remains an important piece within Carracci's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of self-portraiture in Western art. The painting is not only a reflection of Carracci's artistic prowess but also an intimate glimpse into the artist's soul, offering viewers a personal connection to the master painter of the Baroque period.
