EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Carlo Broschi, better known by his stage name Farinelli, the renowned Italian castrato singer who ruled the European music scene from the mid-18th century. Born in Andria, Apulia, in 1705, Farinelli's exceptional vocal abilities were discovered at a young age and he was sent to study under the renowned singing teacher, Nicola Porpora, in Naples. Farinelli's unique voice, characterized by its ethereal beauty and remarkable agility, quickly gained him fame and admiration throughout Europe. He became a favorite of European royalty, performing for the courts of Madrid, Vienna, and London. This portrait, created in 1782, depicts Farinelli in the prime of his career, with his oval face framed by a cascade of curly, golden locks. His expressive eyes convey a sense of intensity and focus, hinting at the passion and emotion he brought to his performances. Castrati, such as Farinelli, were male singers who underwent a surgical procedure to preserve their high voices. Their voices were highly sought after in the Baroque era, as they could sing the treble and alto parts that were typically sung by women. Farinelli's performances were legendary, and his fame transcended music, with many writers and artists immortalizing him in their works. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Farinelli, a singer whose voice and artistry continue to captivate audiences and inspire musicians to this day. The intricate details of his costume, the rich textures of his hair, and the intensity of his gaze all serve to transport us back to the world of 18th-century music and culture, where Farinelli reigned supreme.
