EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Italian poet and librettist, Pietro Antonio Domenico Trapassi, better known as Metastasio. Born in 1698 and passing away in 1782, Metastasio left an indelible mark on the world of literature during the 17th and 18th centuries. The portrait exudes a sense of wisdom and depth, capturing the essence of this influential figure. Metastasio's piercing gaze seems to penetrate through time itself, inviting us to delve into his poetic genius. Renowned for his lyrical prowess, Metastasio's words resonated with audiences across Europe. His librettos became synonymous with opera seria, elevating the art form to new heights. Collaborating with prominent composers such as Handel and Gluck, he crafted narratives that explored themes of love, honor, passion, and tragedy. Displayed against a simple backdrop that emphasizes his presence rather than distracting from it, this image transports us back to a bygone era when poetry reigned supreme. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of one man who shaped literary history. Ken Welsh's expert photography captures every nuance of this historical figure's countenance - from the lines etched on his face to the intensity in his eyes. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a window into a remarkable period where creativity flourished under Metastasio's penmanship.
