"Self-portrait as the Apostle Paul" is a renowned oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1661. This work is part of a series of self-portraits that Rembrandt produced over his lifetime, but it stands out for its unique approach of depicting the artist as a biblical figure. Housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this painting is a significant piece in the oeuvre of Rembrandt's later years, showcasing his deep engagement with themes of self-reflection, aging, and spirituality.

The painting measures 91 cm by 77 cm and features Rembrandt in the guise of the Apostle Paul, identifiable by the traditional attributes of a sword and a book, which are symbols of Paul's martyrdom and his epistles in the New Testament, respectively. Rembrandt's choice to portray himself as Paul is interpreted by art historians as a complex, introspective statement, blending the artist's personal identity with the apostle's historical and spiritual significance. This self-portrait is characterized by its expressive brushwork, subdued palette, and the thoughtful, almost introspective gaze of the subject, which invites viewers to ponder the connection between the artist and the apostle.

"Self-portrait as the Apostle Paul" is celebrated for its psychological depth and technical mastery, reflecting Rembrandt's skill in manipulating light and shadow to create a sense of volume and interiority. The painting is a testament to Rembrandt's enduring fascination with the human condition, his mastery of the self-portrait genre, and his ability to imbue his works with a profound sense of humanity and emotion. Through this and other self-portraits, Rembrandt invites viewers into a dialogue with the past, with the self, and with the divine, making "Self-portrait as the Apostle Paul" a pivotal work in the history of art.
