EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Concert with many instruments, ancient Greece," offers a captivating glimpse into the musical world of ancient Greece. The image, created by Sasso after a picture by Pelagio Palagi, is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847. The engraving depicts a lively musical gathering, with a group of musicians engaging in a performance. The musicians are shown playing a variety of ancient Greek instruments, each one adding its unique melody to the symphony. In the foreground, a musician strums the strings of a lyre, his expression one of deep concentration. Nearby, another musician blows into an aulos or tibia, the double reed instrument often associated with the ancient Greek god Dionysus. A harpist, seated elegantly, plucks the strings of her harp, while a musician strikes the strings of a psalterion, a type of zither, with his plectrum. A tambourine player shakes his instrument, adding a rhythmic beat to the music, and a percussionist strikes cymbals to accentuate the melody. The musicians are dressed in the traditional attire of ancient Greece, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The intricate details of the instruments and the musicians' clothing are beautifully rendered in the handcoloured engraving, making it a stunning visual representation of ancient Greek musical culture. This engraving is not only a testament to the rich musical heritage of ancient Greece but also a beautiful work of art in its own right. It invites us to imagine the sounds and rhythms that once filled the air in ancient Greek gatherings and transports us to a time long past.
