The Self-portrait by Salvator Rosa is an undated canvas likely painted during his stay in Florence between 1640 and 1649, though some suggest it was created in the early 1660s. This oil painting exemplifies Rosa’s mastery of the Baroque style, characterized by dramatic expression and vivid detail. The artwork belongs to the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg, France, having been donated in 1987 by collectors Othon Kaufmann and François Schlageter. It offers a compelling glimpse into Rosa’s self-perception, executed with bold brushwork and intense emotion typical of the Baroque tradition.
