Created by Antonio Maria Zanetti in 1729, this drawing captures the essence of Farinelli's talent and charisma. Farinelli, born Carlo Broschi, was a legendary Italian castrato who gained international fame for his extraordinary vocal range and emotional expressiveness. In this particular portrayal, he embodies the character of Catone in Utica from Pietro Metastasio's opera. The music composed by Leonardo Leo further enhances the dramatic intensity of Farinelli's performance.

The detailed lines and shading emphasize every contour on his face, highlighting his striking features that captivated audiences worldwide. This print not only immortalizes a momentous performance but also pays homage to an era when castrati were revered for their exceptional singing abilities. It serves as a reminder of the unique place these singers held in history and their significant contributions to opera. Displayed at Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, Italy, this artwork is a testament to the enduring legacy of Farinelli and his impact on music. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when artistry knew no bounds and voices soared with unparalleled beauty.
