"Self-Portrait in the Guise of Descartes" (Italian: "Autoritratto Nelle Vesti Di Cartesio") is a notable work by Luca Giordano, a prominent Italian painter of the late Baroque period. This painting, executed in the 17th century, showcases Giordano's adept skill in portraiture, as well as his intellectual engagement with the philosophical currents of his time. The artwork is a fascinating blend of artistic mastery and philosophical inquiry, presenting the artist himself in the guise of René Descartes, the French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist who is often credited as the father of modern philosophy.

The choice of Descartes as a persona for his self-portrait reflects Giordano's interest in the intellectual debates of the period, particularly those concerning the nature of reality, perception, and knowledge—themes central to Descartes' philosophical inquiries. By adopting the visage of Descartes, Giordano not only pays homage to the philosopher's significant contributions to the development of Western thought but also positions himself within the broader discourse on the relationship between art, perception, and knowledge. This self-portrait, therefore, can be seen as a visual meditation on the artist's role in the pursuit of truth and the creation of knowledge through the medium of painting.

Luca Giordano was renowned for his speed and the prolific output of his workshop, earning him the nickname "Luca fa presto" (Luca works quickly). His works encompass a wide range of subjects, including religious, mythological, and historical scenes, but "Self-Portrait in the Guise of Descartes" stands out for its introspective quality and the unique fusion of artistic and philosophical exploration. The painting not only demonstrates Giordano's technical prowess and stylistic versatility but also offers insight into the artist's intellectual aspirations and his view of the artist as a thinker and seeker of truth.

Today, "Self-Portrait in the Guise of Descartes" is celebrated as a significant example of Baroque portraiture and a testament to the rich cultural and intellectual milieu of 17th-century Italy. It continues to attract scholarly attention for its innovative approach to self-representation and its contribution to the ongoing dialogue between art and philosophy.
