The "Ritratto Di Papa Alessandro VIII" is a significant baroque portrait by the Italian painter Giovanni Battista Gaulli, commonly known as Baciccio. This artwork, created in the late 17th century, captures Pope Alexander VIII, born Pietro Vito Ottoboni, who reigned as the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 1689 until his death in 1691. Gaulli, renowned for his contribution to the Roman Baroque movement, was a favored artist of the Roman Curia and had a profound influence on the artistic scene of his time.

This portrait is notable for its depiction of Alexander VIII in the traditional papal regalia, showcasing Baciccio's mastery in portraying the textures of fabrics and the intricate details of the pope's vestments. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition, the realistic rendering of the pope's visage, and the effective use of chiaroscuro—a technique that Gaulli mastered under the influence of his contemporaries, such as Bernini and Cortona. The painting not only serves as a historical document, capturing the likeness of Pope Alexander VIII, but also exemplifies the grandeur and spirituality associated with the Baroque period's religious art.

The "Ritratto Di Papa Alessandro VIII" reflects the political and religious significance of the papacy during the Baroque era, as well as the personal relationship between the artist and the Vatican. Gaulli's work on this portrait further solidified his reputation as a leading painter of his time, capable of capturing both the physical likeness and the psychological complexity of his subjects. Today, the painting stands as a testament to the artistic achievements of the Baroque period and remains an important piece for study in the oeuvre of Giovanni Battista Gaulli.
