H Beard Print Collection is a 1629 by Unknown, a Baroque work, depicting Augustine of Hippo, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Gregorio Allegri, a composer from the 1600s. He wears a stiff white collar and stares straight ahead. The artist used fine lines to shape his face and coat folds. The print was made in 1629, early for this kind of detailed portrait. It’s one of the first images we have of him. Check out the same face in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A 1629 portrait of composer Gregorio Allegri was produced by Franc Aquila, lithographed by T. Caldwall, and published as part of the H Beard Print Collection.
