"Cardinal Camillo Astalli" is a portrait painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the most significant painters of the Spanish Golden Age. The work is believed to have been created around 1650–1651, during Velázquez's second trip to Italy. The painting depicts Camillo Astalli, who was a cardinal in the Catholic Church and a relative of Pope Innocent X, Pamphili family by adoption, which brought him into prominence.

The portrait is executed with the characteristic skill and psychological insight for which Velázquez is renowned. It captures the cardinal in a three-quarter pose, dressed in the rich, red vestments of his office, with a dark background that serves to highlight the figure. The face of Cardinal Astalli is rendered with particular attention to the subtle play of light and shadow, capturing a sense of the sitter's personality and status.

The painting is notable for its refined use of color and the masterful depiction of textures, from the sumptuous fabrics of the cardinal's robes to the delicate rendering of his lace collar and the flesh tones of his face. Velázquez's brushwork, ranging from precise detail in the cardinal's features to looser strokes in the background, demonstrates his adept handling of oil paint and contributes to the overall sense of depth and realism.

"Cardinal Camillo Astalli" is an important work within Velázquez's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's mature style and his ability to convey the dignity and gravity of his subjects. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art museums, contributing to the study and appreciation of Velázquez's portraiture and the broader context of 17th-century European art.
