Antonio Scarpa c. 19th century

Editor: This is Faustino Anderloni's portrait of Antonio Scarpa. It’s an engraving on a moderately sized plate. The cross hatching creates an interesting effect. What do you make of it? Curator: I see a certain seriousness in Scarpa’s eyes, perhaps reflective of the meticulous nature of his anatomical work. Don’t you think the artist seems to have truly captured his inner life? It's like a window into the man's soul. Editor: Definitely a glimpse into his world. I appreciate your view of the seriousness in the details. Curator: Precisely, and it’s fascinating how engraving immortalizes his legacy.
