EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of the 18th century, specifically to a concert held at the court of Emperor Paul I in Saint Petersburg. The artist, Johann Friedrich Anthing, skillfully captures the essence of this prestigious event through his use of silhouette. The image showcases several musicians playing various instruments such as flutes, pipes, harps, and violins. Their elegant silhouettes are beautifully juxtaposed against a backdrop filled with shadowy figures representing members of high society who have gathered to enjoy an evening of music and entertainment. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and refinement that was characteristic of European courts during this time period. It offers us a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by those in positions of power and influence. Notably, this print also highlights the cultural exchange between Germany and Russia during that era. The presence of German musicians performing for Russian nobility reflects both countries' shared appreciation for music and their strong diplomatic ties. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to the importance placed on leisure activities such as concerts within aristocratic circles. It reminds us that even amidst political affairs and societal obligations, moments dedicated to art and music were cherished as essential components of courtly life.
