Dressed in the distinguished white coat of the Order of Calatrava, Farinelli exudes elegance and prestige. The painting by Corrado Giaquinto beautifully captures Farinelli's commanding presence and musical prowess. Farinelli was a celebrated singer and musician who rose to fame for his extraordinary vocal abilities.
