About the piece
Created in 1759 by Nathaniel Dance-Holland, this masterful double portrait depicts the composer Cristiano Giuseppe Lidarti and the painter Giovanni Battista Tempesti. The work highlights the intellectual and artistic synergy of the period, featuring a brilliantly rendered gilded harp, scattered musical manuscripts, and a cello, all set against a rich, atmospheric interior.
