"Selbstbildnis" (Self-Portrait) is a notable work by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1623. This painting is one of the few self-portraits that Rubens produced during his prolific career and offers a unique insight into the artist's self-perception and status within the society of his time. The portrait is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Rubens excelled, showcasing his mastery of color, texture, and form.

In this self-portrait, Rubens depicts himself with an air of confidence and composure, reflective of his successful career as both a painter and a diplomat. He is dressed in elegant attire, indicative of his social standing and success. The artist's gaze meets the viewer directly, suggesting a sense of engagement and self-assuredness. Rubens' skillful use of chiaroscuro enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, while his loose and expressive brushwork conveys a sense of immediacy and vitality.

The painting not only serves as a personal testament to Rubens' self-image but also as a representation of the ideal Renaissance man, learned and cultured. It is a testament to his intellect and his place in the intellectual circles of his time, as well as his connections to the courts of Europe. The "Selbstbildnis" is often analyzed in the context of Rubens' broader oeuvre, which includes a vast array of historical, mythological, and religious works, as well as portraits and landscapes.

Today, the "Selbstbildnis" is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance. It is housed in the Rubenshuis, the artist's former home and studio in Antwerp, Belgium, which has been converted into a museum dedicated to his life and work. This self-portrait remains a key piece for understanding Rubens' legacy as one of the most influential artists of the Baroque period.
