"Autoritratto," also known as "Self-Portrait," is a distinguished work by Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of the most prominent and influential English painters of the 18th century. Reynolds, born on July 16, 1723, in Plympton, Devon, was a leading figure in the development of the British Royal Academy of Arts, where he served as the first president. His contributions to portrait painting and his theoretical writings on art have left a lasting legacy in the art world.

The "Autoritratto" is a significant piece within Reynolds' oeuvre, reflecting his mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects with a blend of realism and idealism. Painted around 1780, this self-portrait showcases Reynolds' skillful use of light and shadow, a technique he admired and adopted from the works of the Old Masters, particularly Rembrandt and Rubens. The painting depicts Reynolds in a contemplative pose, dressed in the elegant attire typical of an 18th-century gentleman, with a palette and brushes in hand, symbolizing his identity and profession as an artist.

Reynolds' self-portraits are not merely representations of his physical appearance but also serve as a testament to his intellectual pursuits and artistic philosophy. In "Autoritratto," the artist's gaze is directed towards the viewer, inviting an introspective dialogue about the nature of art and the role of the artist. This work is a reflection of Reynolds' belief in the importance of the artist's inner vision and creativity, themes he often explored in his Discourses, a series of lectures delivered at the Royal Academy.

"Autoritratto" is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, as part of its renowned collection of self-portraits by eminent artists. The painting remains a vital piece for understanding Reynolds' artistic journey and his impact on the portrait genre. Through this self-portrait, Reynolds not only immortalizes his own likeness but also encapsulates the artistic ideals and cultural milieu of his time.
