"Portrait of the Artist" is a painting often attributed to the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), though its authenticity and origins have been a subject of debate among art historians. The artwork is believed to be a self-portrait, created circa 1517-1518, during the latter part of Raphael's career when he was working in Rome. The painting is currently held in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

The portrait is executed in oil on panel and measures 47.5 by 33 centimeters. It depicts a young man with soft, youthful features, gazing directly at the viewer. The subject's attire is simple, and the dark background contrasts with the lightness of his face and the golden tones of his hair. The direct gaze and the positioning of the figure suggest a self-assured artist at the height of his creative powers.

Raphael was renowned for his ability to capture the subtleties of human expression and for the grace and harmony of his compositions. "Portrait of the Artist" is no exception, showcasing his skill in rendering lifelike portraits that convey the inner life of the subject. The painting's provenance and the identity of the sitter, however, have been topics of scholarly discussion, with some experts questioning whether the work is indeed a self-portrait by Raphael or the creation of one of his pupils or followers.

Despite the uncertainties surrounding the painting, "Portrait of the Artist" remains an important work within the oeuvre of Raphael and the broader context of Renaissance portraiture. It offers insights into the self-representation of artists during a period when their social status was evolving, and their individual identities were becoming more significant in the public sphere. The painting is a testament to the enduring fascination with Raphael as an artist and the enduring quest to understand the man behind the masterpieces.
