ANDREA SACCHI. Marcantonio Pasqualini (1614-1691) Crowned by Apollo

Marcantonio Pasqualini (1614-1691) Crowned by Apollo. Artist: Andrea Sacchi (Italian, Rome (?) ca. 1599-1661 Rome). Dimensions: 96 x 76 1/2 in. (243.8 x 194.3 cm). Date: 1641.
A celebrated male soprano, Pasqualini is crowned by Apollo, who had been victorious in a musical contest with the satyr Marsyas (shown in the background, defeated and tied to a tree with his bagpipes beside him). Pasqualini joined the choir of the Sistine Chapel in 1630, and from 1632 was a protagonist in many operas produced at the Palazzo Barberini. Sacchi designed sets for some of these. The singer plays an upright harpsichord decorated with the figures of Daphne and a bound satyr; Apollo is loosely based on the famous ancient sculpture known as the Apollo Belvedere.
