Notes earliest-known individual self-portrait of Rubens; preparatory study for a self-portrait that he incorporated in his most important commission as court painter of Vincenzo I Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua from July 1600 - May 1608. It took four years for him to land a truly major commission. He painted three immense canvases for the Jesuit church in Mantua, namely the decorative programme for the capella maggiore in 1604–05: The Gonzaga Family Adoring the Trinity, The Baptism of Christ and The Transfiguration. Rubens was so honoured by the commission that he included himself in the central scene, in which the Gonzaga family is shown worshipping the Holy Trinity. By incorporating his own likeness in the painting, Rubens immortalized himself as its maker – a ‘visual signature’ that served as the young artist’s first calling card.
