EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating frontispiece of "Defense of modern music: against the false opinion of Bishop Cirillo Franco" transports us back to 17th century Italy, where King James IV of Portugal passionately defends contemporary musical compositions. This exquisite print, housed in the Museo Civico Bibliografico Musicale in Bologna, Italy, showcases a page from John (James) IV's renowned work. Created by an anonymous Italian artist from the same era, this artwork depicts a powerful confrontation between King John IV and Bishop Cirillo Franco. The king ardently advocates for the music of his time, particularly that composed by Palestrina. In response to criticism from Bishop Franco, who disapproved of this new musical style, King John IV penned his influential defense. The intricate details within this print are truly remarkable. From the elaborate costumes worn by both figures to their intense facial expressions and gestures, every element contributes to conveying their fervent debate on the merits and value of modern music. This historical artifact not only highlights the importance placed on music during this period but also serves as a testament to King John IV's dedication to preserving and promoting contemporary artistic expression. As we gaze upon this image captured by Luisa Ricciarini through her lens at Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire generations with its timeless message.
