About the piece
Painted in 1912 by Max Slevogt, this masterful portrait depicts the renowned baritone Francisco d'Andrade in his signature role as Don Giovanni. Part of the Alte Nationalgalerie collection, the work is celebrated for its virtuosic brushwork and the luminous treatment of the white cloak, which creates a striking focal point against the moody, dark backdrop.
