"Portrait of the Castrato Gaetano Caffarelli" is a notable 18th-century artwork by the Italian artist Pier Leone Ghezzi. The portrait depicts Gaetano Majorano, known by his stage name Caffarelli, who was one of the most famous castrati singers of his time. Ghezzi, renowned for his caricatures and portraits, captures Caffarelli in a manner that reflects both the singer's professional stature and the artistic style of the period.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the world of opera and the phenomenon of the castrato in the Baroque and Classical periods. Castrati, male singers castrated before puberty to preserve their high-pitched voices, were celebrated figures in 17th- and 18th-century opera. Caffarelli, in particular, was known for his vocal range and technical skill, and he enjoyed a successful career across Europe.

Pier Leone Ghezzi's work is characterized by a blend of realism and wit, and his portrayal of Caffarelli is no exception. The portrait is often noted for its expressive quality and the way it conveys the subject's personality. Ghezzi's skillful use of line and shading brings forth the elegance and flamboyance that were associated with the castrato's public image.

The "Portrait of the Castrato Gaetano Caffarelli" holds a place in the canon of portrait art and provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and musical practices of the 18th century. It remains an important piece for scholars studying Baroque music, performance history, and the social roles of performers during this era. The artwork is also a testament to Ghezzi's talent and his contribution to the Italian tradition of portraiture.
