EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "An allegory of Music" painted in 1625 by Valckert, Werner Jacobsz van den. The oil on panel masterpiece measures 50.2x66.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection, courtesy of eLawrence Steigrad Fine Arts in New York. The painting depicts a harmonious scene filled with enchanting melodies and ethereal beauty. A man and woman stand side by side, their faces radiating joy as they sing from a sheet music songbook. Among them stands an intriguing figure - a black Moor with a bearded face and exposed nipples, adding an element of exoticism to the composition. Symbolizing the muse Euterpe, the embodiment of music in Greek mythology, this allegorical artwork exudes both grace and moral significance. Adorned with flowers and garlands, it captures the essence of harmony between old and young voices. Notably, a young boy also graces the painting's canvas; his presence adds innocence to this musical tableau while emphasizing the importance of passing down musical traditions through generations. The artist skillfully incorporates elements such as turbans and exotic attire to further enhance the allegorical nature of this piece. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, "An allegory of Music" invites viewers into a world where melody transcends boundaries. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this timeless work for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical value while reveling in its aesthetic brilliance
