EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Poetry and Music" takes us on a journey back to the enchanting world of the Middle Ages. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this engraving is now part of a private collection. The image has been digitally cleaned, preserving its intricate details for our admiration. The artwork beautifully personifies air as it serves as the auspices for poetry and music. It pays homage to Pythagoras, the renowned philosopher who believed in the harmonious relationship between numbers and sounds. Manuscripts from medieval times are depicted, showcasing their importance in preserving knowledge and culture during that era. Within this miniature masterpiece, we can spot Orpheus playing his lyre with great skill while surrounded by nine muses representing various art forms. This scene symbolizes harmony between poetry and music. Drawing inspiration from sources like Liber Pontificalis, Arion of Rheims, and even Renaissance influences, this artwork captures both early and late medieval elements seamlessly. Its presence transports us to a time when creativity flourished amidst aging traditions. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder without any commercial use intentions but rather aims to inspire viewers with its historical significance.
