"Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. Created in 1514–1515, this artwork is widely considered one of the most sophisticated and influential portraits of the Renaissance period. The painting depicts Baldassare Castiglione, a prominent humanist, writer, and diplomat who was a close friend of Raphael and a prominent figure at the court of Urbino. Castiglione is best known for his book "The Book of the Courtier," which outlines the ideals of a gentleman of the time.

The portrait is celebrated for its depiction of Castiglione's character and its exquisite rendering of his features, which convey a sense of calm intelligence and noble grace. Raphael's mastery of technique is evident in the soft modeling of Castiglione's face, the delicate play of light and shadow, and the intricate textures of his clothing. The sitter's direct gaze and the subtle warmth of the color palette create an intimate connection with the viewer, making it one of the most engaging portraits of the Renaissance.

The painting's composition, with Castiglione's body turned in a three-quarter pose and his head facing the viewer, was innovative for its time and has influenced the style of portraiture for centuries. The work's psychological depth and naturalism were groundbreaking, moving away from the idealized portraiture of earlier periods and setting a new standard for the representation of individual character.

"Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione" is not only a testament to Raphael's artistic skill but also a reflection of the humanist values of the time, emphasizing the intellectual and moral virtues of its subject. The painting is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistry and its historical significance as a portrait of one of the Renaissance's most esteemed figures.
