EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Tasso, a renowned Italian poet from the 16th century. The creator of this intriguing portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the image. Tasso is best remembered for his epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" which vividly depicts the historic Siege of Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Despite his literary success, Tasso's life was plagued by mental illness, a fact that adds depth to this portrayal. Tragically, he passed away before receiving recognition for his poetry from Pope Clement VIII. This photograph captures Tasso's intense gaze and bearded countenance, reflecting both his inner turmoil and creative imagination. The image is taken from Alfred Howard's "Biographical Illustrations" published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin respectively. It offers us a glimpse into the past while honoring one of Italy's most celebrated literary figures. In this profile view engraving, we see Tasso looking away with an expression that hints at both introspection and determination. The laurel wreath adorning his head symbolizes his poetic achievements as well as his contribution to literature during a time deeply influenced by religion and Christianity. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how art can immortalize individuals who have left an indelible mark on history through their words and ideas.
