EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait bust captures the intense and focused expression of Jean Baptiste Lully (1639-1687), a renowned French composer and court musician of the 17th century. Lully's frowning countenance and furrowed brow convey a deep concentration and unwavering dedication to his craft. The intricately designed curly wig and long, flowing beard are characteristic of the fashionable attire of the French court during this period. Born in Florence, Italy, Lully was a prolific composer who made a significant impact on French music and culture. He served as the King's musician and director of music for Louis XIV, and his innovative compositions, including operas, ballets, and sacred music, were widely acclaimed. Lully's influence extended beyond music, as he also played a key role in the development of the Paris Opera and the establishment of the Académie Royale de Musique. This portrait bust, created in 1687, the year of Lully's death, serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. The intricately carved details of the bust, from the lifelike features of Lully's face to the intricate folds of his wig and beard, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the sculptor. The historical significance of this bust lies not only in its representation of a great composer and musician, but also in its preservation of the fashion and style of the French court during the late 17th century. Overall, this portrait bust of Jean Baptiste Lully is a valuable and captivating addition to any collection of historical art or music memorabilia. Its intricate details and striking representation of a pivotal figure in French history make it a must-have for scholars, artists, and enthusiasts alike.
