"Albino Autoritratto" (English: "Albino Self-Portrait") is a notable work by the Italian Baroque artist Pietro Testa (1612–1650). Although Testa is primarily known for his printmaking and drawing, his oeuvre also encompasses a small number of paintings, among which "Albino Autoritratto" stands out for its unique subject matter and execution. The artwork is believed to have been created in the mid-17th century, a period that saw Testa grappling with both personal and professional challenges.

The self-portrait is distinctive for its depiction of the artist as an albino, a condition characterized by the lack of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. This portrayal is highly unusual for the era and marks a significant departure from the conventional self-representations by artists of the time. Testa's choice to present himself in this manner has been interpreted by art historians as a complex statement on identity, otherness, and the nature of artistic creativity.

The painting is executed with a keen attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the artist's features and the play of light on his distinctive pale complexion. The background and attire are typically subdued, drawing the viewer's focus to the face and the penetrating gaze of the artist. This gaze, coupled with the unique subject matter, invites a deeper contemplation of the self and the societal perceptions of difference.

"Albino Autoritratto" is not only a significant work within Pietro Testa's body of art but also an important piece in the study of self-portraiture in Baroque art. It challenges contemporary notions of beauty and normalcy, offering a rare glimpse into the personal and artistic world of its creator. The painting is a testament to Testa's innovative spirit and his willingness to explore and express the complexities of human identity through his art.
