"Still Life With Musical Instruments"
Still Life with Musical InstrumentsPeriod: late 1600s
Origin: Milan
Dimensions: 138x100 cm with frame, 130x90 cm canvas only.
Description: Magnificent still life with musical instruments dating back to the late 1600s. With the pictorial genre of still life, starting from the late 1500s, inanimate objects became the absolute protagonists of the painted scene.
In this painting, the artist depicts various musical instruments, some sheet music and books, a bouquet of flowers, and on the right, a crown next to a papal triregnum.
The work is highly illusionistic in every detail, the musical instruments allude to the temporary pleasure of music, a metaphor for the transience of life and the inexorable passage of time.
Although the scholar cannot formulate an attributive hypothesis, due to the vast reservoir of Bergamo production in this genre, he places the photographs of the work in a folder dedicated to the followers of Bartolomeo Bettera, himself an imitator of the more famous and talented Evaristo Baschenis.
