Interior View of Westminster Abbey on the Commemoration of Handel
Edward Edwards, (1790)
Handel reached Italy indomitable at age 22, and took the place by storm.  Late in life, going blind,
at the end of his rope, he wrote some of his deepest music, his favorite oratorio and chorus,
​and the greatest of love duets.
