Ritratto di papa Paolo V, or Portrait of Pope Paul V, is a painting by the renowned Italian Baroque artist Caravaggio. Created around 1605-1606, this work captures Pope Paul V, born Camillo Borghese, who served as the head of the Catholic Church from 1605 to 1621. Caravaggio, known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and realistic depiction of subjects, brings a sense of immediacy and presence to the portrait.

The painting is characterized by its striking realism and the psychological depth with which Caravaggio portrays the Pope. Paul V is depicted in traditional papal attire, including a white rochet and a red mozzetta, with a camauro on his head. The background is dark, a typical feature of Caravaggio's work, which serves to highlight the figure of the Pope, drawing the viewer's attention to his solemn expression and the texture of his garments.

Caravaggio's approach to portraiture was innovative for its time. He eschewed idealization, instead opting for a naturalistic representation that conveyed the personality and status of his subjects. In this portrait, the Pope's expression is contemplative, suggesting both the weight of his responsibilities and his introspective nature.

The painting is housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, a fitting location given the Borghese family's significant patronage of Caravaggio. The Borghese family, particularly Cardinal Scipione Borghese, was instrumental in the artist's career, commissioning several of his works.

Ritratto di papa Paolo V exemplifies Caravaggio's mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects, combining technical skill with a profound understanding of human character. This portrait remains an important example of Baroque portraiture and a testament to Caravaggio's enduring influence on the art world.
