Caricature of Andrew Carnegie 1835-1919 is a notable artwork by the Italian-Cuban artist, Carlo de Fornaro. Rendered in the early 20th century, the piece offers a satirical portrayal of Andrew Carnegie, a powerful Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist known for leading the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late th century.

Theature is a reflection of De Fornaro's acclaimed talent in crafting pointed political satire. The artist’s use of exaggerated features and distorted proportions are characteristic of his style, drawing attention both to the physical attributes of Carnegie and to broader critiques of his influence in the socio-economic sphere. Carnegie's depiction as a stout figure with a contented smile conveys his prosperity, while the absence of workers or industrial scenery could be construed as a commentary on the separation of business moguls from their labor force.

The piece forms part of De Fornaro's larger portfolio of caricatures, which often targeted influential figures of his time. His works stand as a stark contrast to the formal portraits often commissioned by the wealthy and the powerful, revealing an alternate perspective that was shaped by De Fornaro's ideological leanings. As such, Caricature of Andrew Carnegie 1835-1919 concurrently serves as a snapshot of an influential figure in American history and a sharp critique of Gilded Age capitalism.

It's noteworthy that De Fornaro's own experiences as an immigrant might have influenced his views on industrialist tycoons like Carnegie. Although Carnegie was known for his philanthropic endeavors, his reputation was steeped in controversy due to his ruthless business practices. De Fornaro's caricature thus adds a layer of historical context, illuminating the paradoxes inherent in figures like Carnegie who shaped the industrial era—an age marked by both extraordinary development and significant inequality. In this context, the caricature performs the role of a social document, capturing the complexities of a key historical era.
