EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving portrays the renowned Italian artist, Arrigo Boito (1842 - 1918), captured by an anonymous 19th-century Italian School. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases Boito's striking features and charismatic presence. Arrigo Boito was a multi-talented individual who excelled in various artistic disciplines. He is best remembered as a poet, journalist, novelist, librettist, and composer. His exceptional talent for crafting libretti earned him great recognition and admiration during his time. Notably, he collaborated with the legendary Giuseppe Verdi on operas such as Otello and Falstaff. Boito's creative genius extended beyond writing; he also composed his own opera titled Mefistofele. Alongside Emilio Praga and his brother Camillo Boito, Arrigo is celebrated as one of the prominent representatives of the Scapigliatura artistic movement in Italy. In this illustration by Giovanni Gorrio or Tobia Enrico Gorrio (the artist remains unidentified), Arrigo Boito appears dignified yet approachable. His piercing gaze reflects both intelligence and passion for his craft. This portrait captures not only his physical likeness but also hints at the depth of character that made him such an influential figure within European literary circles. As we admire this remarkable image from Bridgeman Images' Prismatic Pictures collection today, let us remember Arrigo Boito's immense contributions to literature and music—an enduring legacy that continues to inspire
