About this work

This print from 1831 shows violinist Nicolò Paganini. He was famous for his wild talent and strange posture. The artist, Edouard Edward Pingret, made a portrait of him. Paganini’s playing amazed London in 1831. Newspapers wrote about his weirdly bent arm and odd shoulder. His fingers could twist in ways others couldn’t. Want to see more?
