Andreas 1775

"Andreas" is an etching by Domenico Cunego, created in 1775. This striking portrait depicts an aged man with a long beard, his head tilted back and eyes looking upwards in prayer. Cunego's meticulous detail in the wrinkles of the face and the folds of the man's clothing create a sense of realism and emotion. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to Cunego's mastery of the medium and his ability to evoke powerful religious themes through his art.
