EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Emmanuel Blanche takes us back to the 16th century, where we find ourselves in the grand castle of Fontainebleau. The scene depicts a magnificent concert, with musicians skillfully playing the viola, lute, and mandore. Their melodies fill the air as they are accompanied by none other than King Henry II himself and his court serving as a choir. The atmosphere is one of elegance and refinement, as the royal court indulges in this musical spectacle. The intricate details captured by Blanche transport us to a time when music was not only an art form but also an integral part of courtly life. The enchanting setting of Fontainebleau Castle adds to the allure of this image. Its fairy tale-like architecture stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery and birdsong that seems to harmonize with the music being played. Blanche's masterful use of black and white brings depth and contrast to this engraving, allowing each element within it to shine. It is through his skilled hand that we can almost hear the melodies resonating from these instruments while witnessing history come alive before our eyes. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. It captures a moment frozen in time when music united royalty and commoners alike within the walls of Fontainebleau Castle.
