EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Carlo Calcinotto in approximately 1763, showcases the renowned Italian composer and violinist Joseph Tartini. Measuring at 23.2x15.9 cm, this print is part of the Gerald Coke Handel Collection housed in the prestigious Foundling Museum in London. Tartini's striking profile dominates the composition, with his prominent nose and expressive eyebrows capturing attention immediately. The artist skillfully exaggerates these features to convey both Tartini's physical presence and his profound musical genius. The musician stands against a plinth adorned with symbolic elements that reflect his multifaceted nature. A violin rests on one side while books and sheet music representing philosophy surround him, suggesting Tartini's intellectual pursuits alongside his musical talents. Notably, a cartouche prominently displays Tartini's name along with references to influential figures such as Zarlino, Corelli, and Plato – underscoring his place among esteemed composers and thinkers of his time. Carlo Calcinotto expertly captures Tartini's essence through intricate details that bring this engraving to life. From the delicate lines depicting facial features to the meticulous rendering of each element within the composition, this artwork serves as an enduring tribute to one of Italy's most celebrated musicians. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both historical portraiture techniques and the remarkable talent possessed by Joseph Tartini himself.
