EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Giovanni Battista Velluti, the last opera castrate of his time. Captured by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this portrait is a testament to Velluti's extraordinary talent and unique place in musical history. Velluti's story is one of both fascination and controversy. As a castrato, he possessed a voice that was unmatched in its power and range. His ability to effortlessly hit high notes with precision and clarity captivated audiences across Europe during his prime. In this striking engraving, Velluti exudes confidence and charisma. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate through time, inviting us into his world of music and performance. The intricate details captured by Giancarlo Costa further emphasize the depth of emotion etched on Velluti's face. As we admire this remarkable piece of art, it serves as a reminder of the rich heritage left behind by these exceptional musicians who sacrificed their physicality for their craft. It also prompts us to reflect on how society has evolved since then, leaving behind such practices but cherishing the legacy they have left behind. This print offers us a glimpse into the life of Giovanni Battista Velluti - an icon whose voice echoed through grand opera houses and whose name will forever be etched in musical history.
