EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Nicola Cosimo, a renowned Italian violinist of the 17th century. Engraved by the talented John Smith in 1706, this piece beautifully captures the essence of Cosimo's musical prowess and elegance. In this half-length portrait, Cosimo is depicted turned towards the viewer, donning a stylish coat, necktie, and an extravagant wig that was fashionable during his time. Clutched under his right arm is his beloved violin while he holds a bow delicately in his right hand. With great attention to detail, Smith portrays Cosimo adjusting a tuning peg on the instrument with his left hand. The engraving is based on an original painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller, one of the most prominent portrait painters of the era. Kneller's influence can be seen through the meticulous rendering of Cosimo's features and attire. Nicola Cosimo was not only known for his exceptional skills as a musician but also as a composer. This print serves as both a tribute to him and an homage to classical music itself. Now part of a private collection, this historical artwork offers us insight into the world of music during Nicola Cosimo's lifetime. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today and reminds us of the enduring power that art has in preserving history.
