Rafael Colón Hand Painted Violin (Un Ballo in Maschera)
The artist Rafael Colón pays tribute to the Met’s production of Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera. Details from the opera are dramatically featured on this hand etched and hand painted violin.
Each beautifully painted, collectible violin is one of a kind. It is hand drawn, wood burned, and hand painted on front and back by the artist in his NYC studio using oil, acrylic, and marker paints. The violin comes with a bow, a case, and a display stand and can be displayed on a shelf, piano, or any flat surface.
Rafael Colón’s work is in the collection of the Queen of Sweden, The Reginald F. Lewis Museum in Baltimore, the Tony Hawk Foundation, and others. His art has been featured at El Museo del Barrio and at The Asia Society New York City.

History
Verdi’s fascinating tale of the murder of a king had its world premiere at the Teatro Apollo in Rome in 1859, between the highly successful works of his middle period and the celebrated later masterpieces. David Alden, director of the new Met production, says: “Un Ballo in Maschera is one of Verdi’s greatest and most brilliant scores, with a variety of different colors. It alternates between the light and the intensely melodramatic. Verdi pulls it all together with unbelievable theatrical energy. Ballo is theatrical dynamite.”
