EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned portrait of Farinelli, a legendary figure in the world of opera. Painted by Jacopo Amigoni between 1750 and 1752, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 82x61 cm and is currently housed at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, Spain. Farinelli, whose real name was Carlo Maria Broschi, was an Italian castrato and celebrated opera singer during the 18th century. This image captures his striking presence as he gazes into the distance with an air of elegance and grace. The artist skillfully portrays Farinelli's effeminate features through delicate lace details and subtle touches of makeup. Dressed in opulent gold brocade attire adorned with a ring on his finger, Farinelli exudes confidence and sophistication. His meticulously styled wig adds to his grandeur as a performer who captivated audiences across Europe. Amidst controversy surrounding castrati singers during that era, Farinelli's talent transcended gender norms, making him one of the most revered vocalists of all time. This portrait immortalizes not only his physical appearance but also pays homage to his extraordinary vocal abilities that enchanted listeners throughout his career. Through this stunning print from Fine Art Finder by eKen Welsh Photography, viewers can appreciate both Amigoni's artistic prowess and Farinelli's enduring legacy as an icon in the history of opera.
