"Self-Portrait as a Mature Man" is a notable work by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680), who was a preeminent sculptor and architect of the Baroque period. This self-portrait, executed in oil on canvas, is one of the few known painted works by Bernini, as he is primarily celebrated for his sculptural achievements and architectural designs. The portrait is believed to have been created around the 1630s or 1640s, during the mature phase of Bernini's career, when he was at the height of his artistic powers and had established himself as a leading figure in the Roman art world.

In this self-portrait, Bernini presents himself with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, reflecting a sense of confidence and self-awareness. The work is characterized by a keen attention to detail and a masterful use of light and shadow, which is reminiscent of the chiaroscuro technique commonly associated with Baroque painting. Bernini's portrayal captures the textures of his skin and hair with a lifelike quality that demonstrates his skill as a painter, despite being less recognized for this aspect of his artistry.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of Bernini's persona and the way he wished to be perceived by posterity. It provides a rare glimpse into the artist's self-image and stands as a testament to his multifaceted talent. "Self-Portrait as a Mature Man" is an important piece within the oeuvre of Bernini's work and offers valuable insight into the self-representation of artists during the Baroque era.

The self-portrait is held in a private collection, and its provenance and critical reception have been subjects of interest among art historians. The work has been exhibited in several important exhibitions focusing on Bernini and the Baroque period, further cementing its place in the canon of European art history.
