EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a musical masterpiece from the Baroque era - "KIRCHER: TARANTATI, 1654". The image captures an intricate sheet of music for the Dance of the Tarantati, which is considered one of the oldest known tarantellas. This historical gem originates from Athanasius Kircher's renowned work, Magnes sive de Arte Magnetica, published in 1654. The composition itself exudes a sense of rhythm and movement through its carefully crafted musical notation. Each delicate note on the sheet seems to come alive as it tells a story through sound. It is fascinating to witness how this German Jesuit scholar and polymath, Athanasius Kircher, captured the essence of this traditional dance form with such precision. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we are transported back to 17th-century Germany where music played an integral role in cultural expression. The Tarantella was not just a dance but also served as therapy for those believed to be bitten by tarantulas - hence its name. This print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to time or space. It allows us to appreciate and celebrate our rich heritage while also acknowledging the immense talent and dedication that went into creating these timeless pieces.
