In the 18th century, maintaining good house music was a matter of course for Adel and Burger. The nobility kept their own orchestra in their castles, and it was not uncommon for an opera or symphony that later became famous to travel the world from here.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph captures the essence of Musikalische Unterhaltung, or Musical Entertainment, in the 18th century. The image depicts a quartet of musicians playing on instruments such as the spinet or clavichord, violin, cello, and flute. In this era, it was customary for both nobility and bourgeoisie to indulge in the pleasures of good house music. The nobility would often have their own orchestra in their castles, where talented musicians would perform operas and symphonies that would later become renowned worldwide. This tradition of musical excellence was not only a form of entertainment but also a symbol of status and sophistication. The artist Christophe (Colomb, Georges) has beautifully captured the elegance and refinement of this musical scene in vibrant colours and intricate details. The composition exudes a sense of harmony and unity among the musicians as they create melodious tunes that enchant all those who listen. This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a window into the rich cultural heritage of classical music during the 18th century. It reminds us of a time when music played an integral role in society's social gatherings and celebrations, bringing people together through its universal language.
