EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pastel portrait captures the distinguished features and intellectual prowess of Pietro Metastasio (1698-1782), an Italian poet, librettist, and literary critic, who is considered one of the most influential figures in the development of the opera libretto. The portrait was created by the renowned Italian artist Rosalba Carriera (1675-1757), who was known for her mastery of the pastel medium. The vertical composition of the image emphasizes the formal and serious demeanor of Metastasio, as he gazes intently off to the side, his hand resting thoughtfully on a book. The rich, vibrant colors of the pastel bring Metastasio's face to life, capturing the intricacies of his skin texture and the depth of his eyes. The portrait was created during Metastasio's time in Dresden, Germany, where he served as the Imperial Poet Laureate in the court of Augustus II the Strong. This masterpiece is now part of the prestigious collections of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, a testament to the enduring legacy of both Metastasio and Carriera as pioneers in their respective fields.
