Touching the Strings, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour print that transports us to an enchanting Italianate setting. In this Aesthetic Movement masterpiece by Edith Martineau, we are introduced to a scene of pure musical delight. The focal point of the composition is a talented female musician, elegantly dressed in a vibrant red velvet gown, seated before a lemon tree on a marble bench. As her delicate fingers graze the strings of her mandolin, she evokes melodies that seem to dance through the air. The artist skillfully captures not only the visual beauty of this moment but also strives to evoke music for the viewer's senses. Martineau's attention to detail shines through as she meticulously renders textures and patterns found in various materials. From the intricate carving on the period frame surrounding the artwork to the lush foliage of the lemon tree and even down to every fold in our musician's dress – each element adds depth and richness to this exquisite piece. This print invites us into a world where music intertwines with nature, where lemons become notes and melodies fill our souls. It serves as both an homage to classical aesthetics and as an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in its harmonious embrace. With "Touching the Strings". Martineau showcases her mastery not only as an artist but also as a storyteller who effortlessly transports us into realms where artistry meets melody.
