EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate pencil and wash on paper portrait of Tenducci, created around 1785 by the talented artist John Nixon. The artwork measures 12.3x8.6 cm and is part of the esteemed Gerald Coke Handel Collection, housed in the Foundling Museum in London. Tenducci, an Italian opera singer and composer born circa 1736, is depicted with a charming smile that radiates his passion for music. His half-length figure exudes elegance as he gazes into the distance, lost in a reverie perhaps inspired by his own compositions. The Georgian era comes to life through this exquisite portrayal of Tenducci wearing a wig typical of the period. As a castrato, he possessed an exceptional vocal range that captivated audiences during his performances. Nixon's attention to detail shines through as he captures every nuance of Tenducci's expression and attire. The accompanying score adds depth to this intimate portrait, hinting at the musical genius within him. This remarkable image from Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into the world of one of history's most celebrated opera singers. It serves as both a testament to Tenducci's talent and an homage to the rich cultural heritage preserved within museums like Foundling Museum.
