EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Girolamo Frescobaldi, a renowned Italian composer and harpsichordist from the Renaissance and early Baroque period. The portrait, created by Claude Mellan in 1598-1688, showcases Frescobaldi's half-length figure with great detail. Frescobaldi was not only a talented musician but also a child prodigy who rose to fame for his exceptional keyboard music compositions. Born in Ferrara, he later became the organist of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, leaving an indelible mark on the world of classical music. The print measures 15.4x12.3 cm and is housed in the Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. It belongs to the collection of Jean Masson and was captured by Studio Giraudon in 1936. In this portrait, Frescobaldi sports a distinguished moustache and goatee that add to his charismatic presence. The artist has skillfully depicted him with intricate details using pierre noire on paper technique. This image provides us with a glimpse into the life of one of history's most influential musicians while showcasing Mellan's expertise as an artist capturing both personality and talent through his drawings.
