The "Portrait of Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg" is a notable work of art by the Italian painter and medallist Antonio Pisano, commonly known as Pisanello. Created circa 1431–1432, this portrait is significant for its historical context and as an example of early Renaissance portraiture. The painting depicts Sigismund of Luxembourg (1368–1437), who was Holy Roman Emperor from 1433 until his death and King of Hungary and Croatia from 1387 to 1437, among other titles.

Pisanello, renowned for his mastery in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects, was one of the pioneers in the revival of the portrait genre during the Renaissance. His portrayal of Emperor Sigismund is considered one of the earliest independent portraits of a ruler facing left, a convention that would become standard in later numismatic and heraldic traditions. The emperor is shown in profile, which was a common representation of figures of authority during this period, drawing inspiration from ancient Roman coins and medallions.

The portrait is executed in tempera on wood panel, a medium typical of the time, and measures 30 cm by 18 cm. It is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the emperor's features and regalia, which reflects the courtly elegance and sophistication of the era. The work is also notable for its subtle use of color and the delicate modeling of the emperor's face, which adds to the lifelike quality of the representation.

Currently, the "Portrait of Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg" is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the early Renaissance period and the development of individual portraiture. The painting not only provides insights into the artistic conventions of the time but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the image and identity of one of the most powerful figures of 15th-century Europe.
