Self-portrait 1645

Salvator Rosa’s 1645 self-portrait shows the artist with a laurel wreath, suggesting his success as a painter. Rosa, known for his landscapes, portraits, and satirical works, is depicted with a brooding expression, consistent with the dark and dramatic style of Baroque art. This self-portrait, housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg, is a testament to Rosa’s talent and artistic sensibility.
