EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the model for a magnificent marble statue of George Frederick Handel, one of the most renowned German composers in history. Created by Louis-Francois Roubillac in 1738, this terracotta masterpiece now resides in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum. In this portrait, Handel is depicted as a musician angel seated gracefully while playing his lyre. The artist skillfully portrays his subject's passion and talent through intricate details such as the sheet music resting on his lap and the intense focus on his face. Handel's contribution to classical music is immeasurable, and this artwork pays homage to his genius. With every stroke of Roubillac's chisel, he brings forth not just an image but also a representation of Handel's musical prowess that has stood the test of time. The Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge proudly houses this remarkable piece. Standing at 47 cm tall, it serves as a testament to both Handel's enduring legacy and Roubillac's exceptional craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era where melodies flowed effortlessly from Handel's fingertips. It reminds us that art has no boundaries; it transcends language and culture to touch our souls profoundly. Let us celebrate George Frederick Handel - composer extraordinaire - forever immortalized in stone by Louis-Francois Roubillac.
