EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jean Baptiste Lully, a renowned French musician from the 17th century. The image showcases Lully as a child, standing in the grandeur of the royal court. It is said that during this moment, an influential Count looked upon young Lully and prophesied his future greatness as a musician. The engraving beautifully depicts Lully holding a fiddle, showcasing his deep connection to baroque music even at such a tender age. His youthful innocence is juxtaposed against the opulence of his surroundings, emphasizing his unique talent within the noble circles. Lully's journey as a violinist began here, within these hallowed halls where he would later compose masterpieces for kings and queens. This photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of France's rich musical heritage. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment in Lully's life. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia for classical music enthusiasts while also inspiring awe for those who appreciate prodigious talent emerging from unexpected places. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we can't help but wonder how many other great musicians have been discovered through similar chance encounters throughout history.
