EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intense focus and artistic brilliance of Alfredo Piatti (1822-1901), a renowned cellist and composer of the Romantic era. The photograph, taken by the distinguished French photographer Étienne Carjat (1828-1906) around 1860, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of this musical virtuoso. Born in Italy, Piatti rose to international fame for his exceptional cello playing and innovative compositions. His influence on the development of the cello repertoire is immeasurable, with many of his works still performed regularly today. In this portrait, Piatti is depicted in a thoughtful and introspective pose, his eyes closed as if lost in the depths of his own musical creations. The soft focus and delicate tonality of the albumen print, a popular photographic process of the time, perfectly captures the dreamlike quality of this intimate moment. Carjat, a pioneer in the field of portrait photography, was known for his ability to bring out the unique character and personality of his subjects. In this portrait of Piatti, he masterfully conveys the depth of the cellist's artistic soul, leaving us with an enduring image of a true musical genius. This photograph, a precious treasure in the private collection, serves as a testament to the power of art to transport us across time and connect us to the great creators of the past.
