C. Biondi

C. Biondi spent evenings sketching the backstage chaos of Milan’s opera houses, where wig stands toppled and half-dressed singers scribbled set lists on playbills. Their prints catch the flicker of gas lamps on satin and the way a soprano’s glove always snags on the third button, tiny details that make you feel you’re standing in the wings. Look up the H Beard Print Collection; one sheet titled “Prima Donna Adjusts Her Garter” alone makes the whole series worth the scroll.
