EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a Renaissance-style angel playing the viol, a stringed instrument popular during the 15th and 16th centuries. The ethereal figure, reminiscent of the works of Italian master Fra Angelico, gracefully holds the viol with one hand and a bow in the other. The angel's wings, delicately painted with feathers that seem to shimmer in the light, spread out behind, framing the serene expression on its face. The halo above the angel's head adds to the divine and otherworldly atmosphere. The historical setting of the print is evident in the detailed background, which features intricate architectural elements and a landscape reminiscent of the Italian countryside. The use of rich colors and intricate detailing are characteristic of the Renaissance style, which emphasized the beauty and harmony of human achievements. The viol, a precursor to the modern violin, was a popular instrument during the Renaissance period. Musicians, both human and divine, were often depicted playing various instruments, reflecting the importance of music in the culture of the time. This print captures the essence of that tradition, transporting us back to an era of beauty, creativity, and spirituality. The print, which dates back to circa 1910, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Renaissance style and the timeless allure of music. It is a beautiful addition to any collection of historical art or music-themed decor, and a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of these artistic traditions.
