Arcangelo Resani's "Self Portrait, c.1713" is a captivating example of Baroque portraiture, reflecting the artist's skill and the artistic trends of early 18th-century Italy. Resani, an Italian painter born in 1670, is primarily known for his animal paintings, yet this self-portrait offers a rare glimpse into his personal and artistic identity. The painting, believed to have been completed around 1713, showcases Resani's adeptness not only in capturing the human form but also in conveying the psychological depth and introspective nature of the subject.

In "Self Portrait, c.1713," Resani presents himself with a direct gaze, engaging the viewer with a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The composition is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. This method, popularized by Caravaggio and other Baroque artists, enhances the dramatic effect of the portrait, drawing attention to Resani's expressive features and the texture of his garments.

The background of the portrait is relatively subdued, allowing the focus to remain on Resani's face and upper body. His attire, typical of the period, is rendered with a high degree of realism, showcasing the artist's ability to depict different textures and materials. The subtle play of light and shadow across his face and clothing further emphasizes his mastery of the medium.

"Self Portrait, c.1713" not only serves as a testament to Resani's technical prowess but also provides insight into the self-perception and artistic milieu of the time. Through this work, Resani asserts his identity as an accomplished artist, capable of transcending his reputation as an animal painter to explore the complexities of human expression. This self-portrait remains an important piece within Resani's oeuvre and a valuable contribution to the broader context of Baroque portraiture.
