Silvia Tro Santafé: Ad un riso, ad un'occhiata, Conforto (La festa cinese)

[rexclaudio]

Music from mid 18th century is always so extremly beautiful - and this wonderful aria is no exception! :)

By the way: the portrait is a pastel by the swedish artist Gustaf Lundberg. It is a portrait of his colleague Francois Boucher from 1741

Watching this portrait its very similar to the one I know of Mondonville :P

Nah, Mondonville doesn't look nearly so full of himself ;)

But, the Mondonville portrait is by

Maurice Quentin de la Tour and I remember that I considered his self portrait for this video too.
