"Autoritratto" (Self-Portrait) by Giovanni Battista Gaulli, commonly known as Baciccio, is a notable work by the Genoese artist who became an influential painter in the Baroque period. This self-portrait is a testament to Baciccio's skill in capturing human expression and his mastery of chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. Although the exact date of creation is uncertain, it is believed to have been painted in the late 17th century, during the artist's mature period.

Giovanni Battista Gaulli (1639–1709) was an accomplished Italian Baroque artist known for his grand religious and mythological works. He was particularly celebrated for his illusionistic ceiling frescoes, which can be seen in the Church of the Gesù in Rome, the mother church of the Society of Jesus. In his self-portrait, Baciccio presents himself with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, reflecting the Baroque era's interest in drama, emotion, and personal presence.

The painting is characterized by its rich color palette and the artist's attention to textural details, such as the rendering of his hair and the fabrics of his clothing. The self-portrait not only serves as a showcase of Baciccio's technical prowess but also offers insight into the artist's self-perception and status within the society of his time. The work is housed in a notable art collection, although the specific location may vary as it could be part of temporary exhibitions or on loan to other institutions.

As a significant piece by Baciccio, "Autoritratto" is frequently studied within the context of Baroque portraiture and is considered an important contribution to the genre by art historians. It continues to attract scholarly attention for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of the artist's introspective approach to self-representation.
