EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "An allegory of music: Fame at the virginals; two young lutenists seated" a masterpiece by Lavinia Fontana. The image transports us to a serene interior setting, where we witness the harmonious union of music and mentorship. In this enchanting scene, two young lutenists are engrossed in their craft, seated attentively with their instruments. Their youthful faces reflect both concentration and admiration as they receive guidance from a bearded elder. With pen in hand, he teaches them to follow the score, imparting his wisdom and knowledge accumulated over years of musical experience. The composition exudes an allegorical essence that transcends time. It symbolizes not only the pursuit of musical excellence but also the passing down of traditions from one generation to another. Through this artwork, Fontana captures the timeless beauty found within classical music and its ability to inspire future generations. The intricate details rendered in brown ink with body colour and black chalk on paper bring life to every element within the painting – from delicate facial expressions to meticulously crafted musical instruments. This attention to detail is typical of Fontana's skillful technique and artistic prowess. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this exquisite piece serves as a testament to Fontana's talent as well as her contribution to Italian art during her era. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the enduring power that music holds in our lives – forever connecting past, present
