"Self Portrait Raphael by Wenceslaus Hollar" is an etching created by the Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar (1607–1677), who was active during the 17th century. The etching is a representation of the renowned Italian Renaissance painter Raphael Sanzio (1483–1520), known simply as Raphael. Hollar was known for his detailed and delicate etchings, and his works often included portraits, landscapes, and depictions of contemporary events and costumes.

This particular etching is part of a series of portraits of famous artists that Hollar produced. It is not a self-portrait of Hollar himself, but rather his interpretation of Raphael's appearance, possibly based on existing portraits of the Italian master. Hollar's etching captures the delicate features of Raphael, reflecting the high regard in which the Renaissance artist was held during Hollar's time. The etching is an example of Hollar's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the character and esteem of the individual through the medium of print.

Wenceslaus Hollar's "Self Portrait Raphael" is significant not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, offering insight into the reception and veneration of Renaissance artists in the 17th century. The etching is held in various collections and is studied by art historians interested in the transmission of artistic fame and the role of printmaking in the dissemination of artists' likenesses.

As with many of Hollar's prints, "Self Portrait Raphael" is appreciated for its technical proficiency and the window it provides into the artistic culture of the Baroque period. It remains an important piece for those studying the interplay between Renaissance and Baroque art, as well as the history of printmaking.
