"Portrait of Cesare d'Este" is a painting by the Italian artist Cesare Aretusi, a late Renaissance painter known for his portraits. The artwork is a representation of Cesare d'Este (1561–1628), who was the Duke of Modena and Reggio from 1597 until his death. Aretusi's work is characterized by its attention to detail and the lifelike quality of his subjects, which is evident in this portrait.

The painting captures the Duke at a moment of repose, dressed in the fashion of the Italian nobility of the time. The portrait is notable for its realistic depiction of the Duke's features, the rich textures of his clothing, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow that gives depth to the composition. Aretusi's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the flesh tones of his sitter is particularly admired in this work.

Cesare d'Este was a member of the Este family, a significant dynasty in Renaissance Italy, and his patronage of the arts was an important aspect of his rule. The portrait by Aretusi not only served as a personal likeness but also as a symbol of Cesare's power and status. It would have been displayed in a prominent location, contributing to the glorification of the Este lineage.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is believed to have been produced during Aretusi's period of activity, which spanned the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The "Portrait of Cesare d'Este" is an important work within Aretusi's oeuvre and offers insight into the courtly life and artistic patronage of the period.

The painting is part of the collection of the Galleria Estense in Modena, Italy, where it remains an object of study for scholars interested in the portraiture of the Italian Renaissance and the cultural history of the Este family.
