EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Music, 1470s" by Justus van Gent (Joos van Wassenhove), a renowned artist from the Netherlands. The painting, which can be found in the esteemed collection of the National Gallery in London, is an exquisite example of early Netherlandish art. Rendered with oil on wood, this masterpiece depicts a scene that intertwines mythology, allegory, and literature. It belongs to a series known as the Seven Liberal Arts and focuses specifically on music as one of these arts. The composition portrays various figures engaged in musical activities against a beautifully detailed backdrop. Justus van Gent's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous brushwork and use of vibrant colors. The harmonious arrangement of musicians playing different instruments creates an enchanting atmosphere that transports viewers back to the 15th century. The significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of intellectual pursuits during the Renaissance period. As part of the liberal arts tradition, music was considered essential for cultivating well-rounded individuals capable of contributing meaningfully to society. This print serves as a testament to Justus van Gent's talent and provides us with a glimpse into both historical and cultural aspects surrounding music during this era.
