EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the "Allegory of Hearing" painting, created by Jan van Kessel and Hendrik van Balen. The artwork, an oil on canvas masterpiece, is housed in the Musee d Art et d Histoire in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France. In this particular section of the painting, we are drawn to an organist immersed in her musical performance. Her delicate fingers gracefully glide across the keys as she produces enchanting melodies that fill the air. Surrounding her are various allegorical elements that symbolize sound and music. A female figure stands beside her with a mandolin in hand, ready to join in harmoniously. A deer curiously observes from afar, captivated by the magical sounds emanating from the organ. The presence of instruments such as harps and mandolins further emphasizes the importance of music within this allegorical scene. Adding a touch of whimsy to this composition is a cherubic putto or child-like figure attentively listening to every note played by our talented organist. This intricate detail highlights not only the beauty of music but also its ability to captivate even celestial beings. Through this stunning photo print, we are transported into a world where artistry meets auditory delight. It serves as a reminder of how music has always held immense power over our emotions and imagination throughout history.
