Assistant Bellows Chamber Israel Keyboard Late Medieval Portable

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting "Positive Organ (engraving)" by Israhel van Meckenem, the younger. The image captures a late medieval domestic scene, where a husband and wife are immersed in their musical passion. The couple is skillfully playing this portable chamber organ, also known as an orgue positif. The intricate details of the engraving come to life through this high-quality print. Every pipe, bellows, and keyboard key can be seen with remarkable clarity. As they pump air into the instrument's bellows, creating harmonious melodies that fill the room, their dedicated assistant stands close by. Adding charm to this already delightful scene is a loyal dog faithfully observing his humans' performance from under a chair. This fifteenth-century masterpiece transports us back in time to witness not only the beauty of music but also the intimacy shared between couples during that era. Displayed against a simple backdrop within a private collection, this artwork serves as a testament to Meckenem's artistic prowess and his ability to capture moments of joy and connection through his engravings. Whether you're an admirer of music or fascinated by medieval history, this print offers an exquisite glimpse into both worlds without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
