EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of Marin Marais, taken in 1704, captures the essence of this renowned French composer and viol player. The engraving by Andre Bouys showcases Marais seated, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication befitting a court musician during the reign of Louis XIV. Marin Marais was not only a master of the basse de viol but also held the prestigious position as ordinaire de la chambre du roi pour la viole. His talent extended beyond playing the bass viol to composing music, having studied under Jean-Baptiste Lully himself. In this portrait, Marais is depicted wearing a wig and donning an elaborate costume that reflects the opulence of Versailles during Louis XIV's era. With his musical instrument in hand, he appears deeply engrossed in playing while surrounded by scattered music scores. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight not only Marais' dedication to his craft but also his contribution to Baroque music. The lace jabot adorning his attire adds a touch of refinement to his appearance. This image offers us a glimpse into the life and artistry of one of France's most celebrated composers. Preserved within private collections, it serves as a reminder of Marin Marais' enduring legacy within classical music history.
