The "Portrait of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio" is a notable work by the Italian artist Ottavio Leoni, also known as Ottavio Mario Leoni. This portrait is an etching and is one of the few contemporary likenesses of the influential Italian Baroque painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, known simply as Caravaggio. Created in the early 17th century, this portrait is significant for providing a visual record of an artist who had a profound impact on the world of art, yet left behind very few personal artifacts or documentation of his appearance.

Ottavio Leoni, a contemporary of Caravaggio, was an accomplished portraitist and etcher, renowned for his skill in capturing the likenesses and personalities of his subjects. His portrait of Caravaggio is particularly valuable because it offers a glimpse into the appearance of a man whose life was as dramatic and tumultuous as the chiaroscuro technique he pioneered in his paintings. The etching is characterized by its detailed rendering and the intense gaze of the subject, which reflects the psychological depth for which Caravaggio's own works are celebrated.

The portrait is also an important historical document, as it was created during a period when Caravaggio's reputation was at its peak, and his influence on the art world was substantial. Despite the scarcity of biographical details about Caravaggio's life, Leoni's portrait contributes to the understanding of the artist's character and how he was perceived by his contemporaries.

Today, the "Portrait of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio" by Ottavio Leoni is housed in various collections, including the British Museum in London, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. It remains a key image for scholars and enthusiasts of Caravaggio's work and the Baroque period in art history.
