EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sketch of Carlo Broschi il Farinelli, the renowned Italian singer and castrato of the 18th century. Created by the talented artist Jacopo Amigoni, this charcoal on paper masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of Farinelli's extraordinary talent and unique voice. Farinelli was not only celebrated for his exceptional vocal abilities but also for his collaborations with prominent composers such as Handel. His soprano range, achieved through castration at a young age, allowed him to reach unimaginable heights in opera performances. The sketch also includes Abbe Pietro Metastasio, an influential librettist who worked closely with Farinelli. Their partnership resulted in numerous successful operatic productions that captivated audiences across Europe. Preserved within the City of Westminster Archive Centre in London, this historical artwork offers us a glimpse into the golden era of opera and highlights two key figures whose contributions shaped its evolution. As we admire this striking image, let us appreciate the immense talent and dedication that these artists possessed. Their legacy continues to inspire generations of performers and reminds us of the power that music holds to transcend time and touch our souls.
