EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a cartoon by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, also known as Jean Baptiste Pergolese. Created in 1736 by Pier Leone Ghezzi, the drawing reveals an interesting aspect of the composer's life - his physical handicap. The image depicts Pergolesi with one leg affected, portraying him as lame. Giovanni Battista Pergolesi was a renowned Italian composer who lived from 1710 to 1736. Despite his disability, he made significant contributions to the world of music during the eighteenth century. This caricature not only showcases his talent but also sheds light on his personal struggles and resilience. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Pier Leone Ghezzi, an Italian draughtsman who lived from 1674 to 1755. Ghezzi's attention to detail brings out the essence of Pergolesi's character while capturing the nuances of his physical condition. This intriguing portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a disabled musician in eighteenth-century Italy. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, individuals can overcome their challenges and leave lasting legacies through their artistry. Displayed in private collections today, this print by Giancarlo Costa preserves both historical significance and artistic excellence for all admirers of fine art to appreciate.
