Wrong Portrait
[…] That was surprising, so we decided to research the matter. Sure enough, almost immediately we came across an old article by the musicologist Gloria Rose called A Portrait Called Carissimi. In this article Rose wrote about the origins of the portrait: it could be found at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris as the frontispiece to a manuscript containing numerous works by Carissimi. Moreover, this is the only surviving portrait of the composer: while Giuseppe Ottavio Pitoni, a composer and music theorist who lived in Rome in the first half of the 18th century, made references to another portrait of Carissimi, but that one is lost. Somehow Ms. Rose felt uneasy about the portrait on the manuscript, mostly because the inscription below it was scraped off and the name of Giacomo Carissimi written in. She also learned that the painter of the portrait, the Dutchman Wallerant Vaillant, had never been to […]

To accompany Sankerib's Bonporti Week celebrations, you might like to read a little about this composer's life and career: (b Trent, bap. 11 June 1672; d Padua, 19 Dec 1749). Italian composer. Of good family, he was educated in his native city and Innsbruck in philosophical and humanistic subjects appropriate to the clerical vocation he was to follow. While studying theology at the Collegio Germanico in Rome in 1691–5 Bonporti took music lessons (presumably not his first).
