Pietro MASCAGNI

7 December 1863 - 2 August 1945 (age 81)

The above image is a portrait of Pietro Mascagni from my series '52 Composers'. I made it using a combination of traditional and digital techniques.
The background lists some of his best known works.
I have made this portrait available in various formats and also on some gift items which will make unusual presents for music lovers.

I will soon be adding much more content to this page.
