"Self-Portrait with a Book" is a notable painting by the Venetian artist Jacopo Tintoretto, also known as Jacopo Robusti, who was a prominent figure of the Italian Renaissance. This artwork is a testament to Tintoretto's skill in portraiture and his introspective approach to self-representation. Painted circa 1548, the self-portrait is an oil on canvas measuring 63 x 52 cm. It is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

In this self-portrait, Tintoretto presents himself in a three-quarter view, holding a book—an attribute that may symbolize his erudition or possibly his engagement with the intellectual currents of his time. The artist's gaze is directed outward, meeting the viewer with a look that is both confident and contemplative. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and adds a dramatic intensity to the composition.

Tintoretto's self-portrait is significant for its psychological depth and the masterful depiction of the artist's features. It reflects the Renaissance interest in individualism and self-scrutiny. The painting also offers insights into the artist's self-perception and status within the cultural milieu of 16th-century Venice. As one of the few self-portraits attributed to Tintoretto, this work is an important piece in understanding the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance portraiture.

The "Self-Portrait with a Book" is not only a valuable piece of art history but also a compelling example of Tintoretto's ability to convey complex human emotions and his mastery of the painterly medium. Its presence in the collection of the Louvre Museum underscores its importance and the enduring fascination with Tintoretto's artistic legacy.
