"Self Portrait" by Giulio Romano, also known as Giulio Pippi or by his nickname "Orbetto," is a notable work of art by the Italian painter, architect, and decorator of the Renaissance period. Giulio Romano was a prominent pupil of Raphael and played a significant role in the continuation of High Renaissance style in Italy, particularly in Mantua. Although he is primarily recognized for his architectural and decorative work, such as the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, his paintings also hold an important place in art history.

The "Self Portrait" is a testament to Giulio Romano's skill as a painter and his understanding of human expression. The painting is believed to date from the early 16th century, a period when artists began to take a keen interest in self-representation, exploring their own identity and status within society. In this self-portrait, Romano presents himself with a direct gaze, engaging the viewer and asserting his self-awareness as an artist. The work is characterized by the detailed rendering of his features and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling the human form.

While the exact location and date of the "Self Portrait" are not definitively known, it is often considered an important piece in understanding Giulio Romano's oeuvre and his contribution to the Renaissance movement. The portrait not only serves as a visual autobiography of the artist but also reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the time, where the role of the artist was evolving from that of a mere craftsman to an intellectual and creative force.

As with many historical works of art, the provenance and critical interpretations of Giulio Romano's "Self Portrait" may provide additional insight into the artist's life, his artistic intentions, and the broader context of Renaissance portraiture. However, the scarcity of specific information regarding this particular painting may limit a comprehensive understanding of its significance and background.
