EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the enchanting beauty and grace of Faustina Bordoni, a renowned mezzo-soprano singer of the 18th century. Born in Bologna, Italy, in 1697, Faustina, later known as Faustina Hasse, made her professional debut at the age of 15 in Venice. Her extraordinary vocal abilities and captivating stage presence quickly gained her recognition and acclaim throughout Europe. The portrait, painted by the talented Italian artist Lorenzo Zucchi around 1750, showcases Faustina's striking features, with her expressive eyes, delicate nose, and elegant neckline accentuating her refined beauty. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the Rococo period with his intricate brushwork, rich colors, and meticulous attention to detail. Faustina's elaborate hairstyle, adorned with pearls and ribbons, adds to her regal appearance, while her elegant attire, consisting of a flowing robe and a shawl draped over her shoulders, emphasizes her sophistication and elegance. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the painting and allowing them to connect with the subject on a deeper level. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Faustina Hasse and Lorenzo Zucchi, two remarkable figures of the Italian Baroque period. It serves as a reminder of the power of music and art to transport us to another time and place, and to evoke emotions and sensations that transcend the boundaries of language and culture.
