EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Manuel Garcia, a prominent Spanish singer, music educator, and vocal pedagogist. The artwork was created by his daughter, Pauline Viardot, who skillfully captured her father's essence using pencil on paper. Reproduced from an original sketch soon after the invention of the Laryngoscope - an instrument often credited to Garcia himself in 1854 - this image holds historical significance. Pauline Viardot, also known as Pauline Garcia before marriage, was a renowned French mezzo-soprano and composer with Spanish heritage. Hailing from a family deeply rooted in the world of opera, her sister Maria Malibran was also an accomplished opera singer. Notably adored by Ivan Turgenev and married to Louis Viardot, a respected theatre director and author, Pauline's artistic lineage shines through in this exquisite portrayal. In this striking profile portrait of Manuel Garcia, we see him wearing glasses that add an air of wisdom and intellect to his countenance. As he sits at the piano with poise and confidence befitting his musical expertise as both pianist and baritone vocalist; one can sense the depth of knowledge he possesses as both tutor and teacher. This exceptional piece captures not only Manuel Garcia's physical likeness but also pays homage to his groundbreaking contributions to the field of music education. With its rich history and undeniable artistic brilliance, this print is truly a treasure for any admirer of fine art or lover of
