The Dream of Tartini
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Julien Leopold Boilly, created in 1840. This print showcases the intricate details of Boilly's work, capturing the essence of this intriguing composition. In this image, we see Giuseppe Tartini, an Italian composer from the 18th century, lost in a deep slumber. As he lies on his bed, his mind takes him to a realm where dreams intertwine with reality. The devil himself appears before Tartini as he sleeps, standing at the foot of his bed. Tartini clutches his violin tightly in his hands even in sleep - a testament to his unwavering passion for music. It is said that this dream inspired one of Tartini's most famous compositions: "The Devil's Trill Sonata". The devil plays upon Tartini's fears and desires through haunting melodies that echo throughout the room. Boilly masterfully captures the tension between darkness and light within this scene. Shadows dance across the room while moonlight filters through tattered curtains, adding an eerie ambiance to Tartini's nightmare. This print invites us into the world of dreams and nightmares; it explores how our subconscious can influence our creative endeavors. Through Boilly's skillful interpretation and attention to detail, we are transported into Tartini's sleeping mind - a place where imagination runs wild and inspiration takes hold.
