"Portrait of Galileo" is a notable oil painting by Flemish artist Justus Sustermans, also known as Giusto Sustermans. Created in 1636, the portrait depicts the renowned Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer Galileo Galilei, who is widely considered one of the pivotal figures in the history of science. Sustermans, who was the court painter to the Medici family, captured Galileo at the age of 72, during the scientist's house arrest following his conviction for heresy by the Roman Catholic Church due to his support of the heliocentric model of the solar system.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance, as it provides a contemporary visual representation of Galileo, whose scientific discoveries fundamentally altered our understanding of the universe. In the painting, Galileo is shown with a penetrating gaze, suggesting his intellectual intensity and unyielding commitment to his scientific beliefs. He is dressed in the garb of a well-to-do intellectual of the period, and the composition of the work reflects the Baroque style of the 17th century, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow.

The "Portrait of Galileo" by Sustermans is held in high esteem for its lifelike portrayal of one of the most influential scientists of all time. It serves as a testament to Galileo's legacy and the complex relationship between science and religion during the Renaissance and early modern period. The painting is currently housed in the collection of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for both art historians and admirers of Galileo's work.
