"Self-Portrait" by Simon Bening is a notable work of art by the Flemish miniaturist, renowned for his detailed and delicate manuscript illuminations. Created in the 16th century, this self-portrait is significant as it represents one of the rare instances where a miniaturist from this period depicted himself within his own work. Bening, born in 1483 or 1484, was active in Bruges and is considered one of the last great practitioners of the art of illumination. His self-portrait is a testament to his skill and an intimate glimpse into the self-perception of an artist from the Renaissance era.

The portrait is executed with the meticulous technique characteristic of Bening's work, showcasing his mastery over the miniature format. It is believed to have been included in a larger manuscript, possibly a prayer book or a breviary, which were common canvases for his art. The self-portrait not only serves as a personal record but also reflects the broader cultural context of the time, where artists began to assert their individuality and status within society.

Simon Bening's self-portrait is a valuable piece of art history, providing insights into the evolution of artist self-representation and the rich tradition of manuscript illumination. It is housed in a collection that appreciates the fine art of book decoration, which was an essential aspect of visual culture during the Renaissance. The work is often studied for its art historical significance, the skill of its execution, and its contribution to understanding the role of the artist in early modern Europe.
