The Landing of Senesino, 1720 - A Historic Arrival in England
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in the history of music and entertainment. The image portrays the Italian castrato opera singer, Francesco Bernardi, famously known as Senesino, arriving in England in the year 1720. As he steps onto English soil from his ship at the bustling harbor, a welcoming party awaits him. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as people gather to witness this extraordinary event. Senesino's arrival symbolizes not only a physical journey but also represents an artistic and cultural exchange between Italy and England during the 18th century. With his bowing gesture towards the crowd, Senesino acknowledges their warm reception. His presence signifies a new era for opera in England, where his exceptional vocal talents would captivate audiences for years to come. This monochrome illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment. Created by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) for her book on social caricature in the eighteenth century, it showcases over two hundred illustrations that bring to life various aspects of society during that time. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Senesino's remarkable contribution to music and arts while reflecting on how historical figures continue to shape our world through their talent and dedication.
