Description: | Signed: yes Description: Ferdinand Keller was a Professor of History Painting at the Karlsruhe Academy. Earlier in his life he spent four years in Brazil, where he developed a taste for the exotic. He painted grandiose history subjects taken from classical sources or from celebrations of German nationalism. His links with the theatrical world, evidenced in this painting, began with his decoration of the curtain for the Theatre Royal in Karlsruhe in 1870. The premiere of Verdi's penultimate opera Otello, with the great tenor Tamagno in the title role, took place at La Scala, Milan in 1887. | Subjects: | portrait (Tamagno) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Keller, Ferdinand (German painter, illustrator, 1842-1922) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8692... | Go to resource |
