EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraved portrait of Francesco Ma Veracini, a renowned Italian composer and violinist. Created in 1744 by J. June, this exquisite engraving captures the essence of Veracini's musical genius and charismatic personality. In the image, Veracini is depicted with a warm smile on his face, exuding confidence and passion for his craft. Dressed in an elegant frock coat and adorned with a wig typical of the era, he holds his beloved violin close to his heart. The half-length composition allows us to focus on Veracini's expressive features as he plays his instrument. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is Franz Ferdinand Richter (b. 1693), who skillfully translated Veracini's likeness onto paper. With meticulous attention to detail, Richter captured every nuance of expression in Veracini's face, revealing both his artistic intensity and inner joy. This precious artwork belongs to the Gerald Coke Handel Collection at the Foundling Museum in London—a testament to its historical significance within classical music circles. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when Veracini enchanted audiences with his virtuosity and innovative compositions. Whether you are an admirer of classical music or simply appreciate fine artistry, this enchanting print offers a glimpse into the life of one of Italy's most celebrated musicians—Francesco Ma Veracini—an enduring figure whose legacy continues to inspire generations
