EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of musical history - the Mandolin of the 17th century, representing a transitional phase between the lute and mandolin. With its vibrant colors and intricate design, this instrument instantly transports us back to Italy during the 17th century. Hailing from Lombardia, specifically Milan, this exquisite artifact is housed in the prestigious Museum of Musical Instruments. Its unknown creator has left behind an enduring legacy that continues to captivate musicians and enthusiasts alike. The Mandolin's vertical orientation adds to its unique charm, while its delicate strings and ornate carvings speak volumes about the craftsmanship of yesteryears. As we gaze upon it, one can only imagine the melodies that were once plucked from its strings by skilled hands. With roots deeply embedded in Italian culture, this Mandolin represents not just a musical instrument but also a testament to Italy's rich heritage in music. It serves as a reminder of how artistry evolves over time and how instruments like these played pivotal roles in shaping our musical landscape. Thanks to Santiago Ortega's keen eye for detail and passion for preserving historical artifacts through photography, we are able to admire this stunning relic today. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the beauty of this particular instrument as well as gain insight into centuries-old traditions that have shaped our modern understanding of music.
