EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Pietro Metastasio, a renowned Italian poet and librettist, dressed in a dignified cassock. Painted by Martin van II Mytens, or attributed to him, this oil on canvas print measures 126.5x93 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Metastasio's contribution to the world of arts cannot be overstated. Known for his influential works in both literature and music, he played an instrumental role in shaping opera seria during the 18th century. In this image, we see him seated at a table with an air of authority and creativity surrounding him. The artist skillfully portrays Metastasio as a man deeply immersed in his craft. His focus is fixed on the desk before him where an inkwell and quill await his wordsmithing prowess. The details are exquisite - from the folds of his cassock to the intricate patterns adorning it. As we gaze upon this painting, we can almost hear the melodies that sprung forth from Metastasio's pen. His contributions to Italian culture continue to resonate through time, making this portrait not just a visual representation but also a testament to his enduring legacy. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from Dutch history for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its significance today.
