"Portrait of Joannes Carestini" is an 18th-century oil painting by British portraitist George Knapton, depicting the renowned Italian castrato singer Giovanni Carestini (1700–1760). Carestini was one of the most celebrated opera singers of his time, known for his powerful voice and wide vocal range, which made him a favorite in the courts and opera houses of Europe. Knapton, a member of the Society of Artists and later the Royal Academy, was well-regarded for his portraits of notable individuals, particularly those associated with the arts and the British aristocracy.

The painting captures Carestini in a moment of repose, possibly reflecting on a musical score or a performance. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of Carestini's attire and the sensitive portrayal of his facial expression, which conveys a sense of the singer's artistic temperament. Knapton's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful handling of color, enhances the dramatic effect of the portrait, emphasizing the subject's status as a performer of great emotional depth and technical skill.

George Knapton's "Portrait of Joannes Carestini" is not only a significant work of art from a historical perspective but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the world of 18th-century opera and the phenomenon of the castrato singer. The portrait is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subjects and serves as a valuable record of the individuals who shaped the cultural landscape of the time.
