Description
...It's about the very "tragic" story of Rigoletto, the "jester" in the famous Verdi's opera "Rigoletto"... ...Here something about it in case you care to know more...---> [link]Related content

Wow. I love his expression. It looks like he is glaring at something on one side of his face, and he looks sad on the other. Perfect for Rigoletto. Menacing and sympathetic at the same time. He's certainly one of the more deep characters in the world of opera, isn't he? He wants to keep his daughter safe from the evils of the world, but he works for one of the worst kinds of men. I think you really captured Rigoletto's personality in this picture. Out of curiosity, did you have a specific scene from "Rigoletto" in mind when you were drawing this? I was just listening to "Si vendetta, tremenda vendetta" a little while ago, actually, so I have to ask. Anyway, again, great picture.

It is not a "specific" moment in the opera; it is just the double personality of Rigoletto, the very unlucky man and the bitter "bad" one too... ...He "paid" with his doughtr's life...
I'm happy you like it!

Yeah, he did (pay with Gilda's life). And he was making fun of Monterone's grief in the beginning. He said something like, "What madness seizes you to keep complaining about your daughter's honor all the time?" It almost seems like poetic or karmic justice, that Rigoletto who was mocking Monterone, whose daughter was abducted and raped by the Duke, then suffered the same as Monterone. "You, who can mock a father's anguish!" Monterone shouted at him, before he cursed him. Gilda was kidnapped and probably raped--that depends on the director's staging. (I personally think she was raped.) I feel so awful for Gilda though. She didn't deserve any of what happened to her. And yet, she willingly sacrifices herself for the Duke, after she finds out, practically face to face, that he was just using her, that he doesn't love her. That makes me mad at her.
