EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a celestial concert from the 15th century. Created in 1849 by artist A Bisson, this 19th-century version is based on an original illustration found on the front page of a breviary from that era, currently held at the Royal Library in Brussels. In this scene, we see a group of heavenly beings gathered together in a choir-like formation. The men are deeply engrossed in playing various musical instruments while others appear to be asleep or lost in their dreams. The concept behind this engraving is to depict a celestial realm where music transcends earthly boundaries and connects with divine realms. The monochrome aesthetic adds an ethereal quality to the image, emphasizing its timeless nature. This religious artwork not only showcases the artistic skills of A Bisson but also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of both the 15th and 19th centuries. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back through time, witnessing a moment when music and spirituality intertwined harmoniously. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have sought solace and inspiration through art forms such as music. This piece invites us to appreciate both our human connection with music and our longing for something greater than ourselves - something truly celestial.
