EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Mouton playing the lute" transports us back to the Baroque era. Created by Gerard Edelinck in the 17th century, this exquisite print showcases the talent and artistry of both the artist and his subject. In this portrait, we see Mouton, a skilled musician, delicately strumming his lute with utmost concentration. The intricate details captured by Edelinck's masterful hand bring life to every line and curve of Mouton's face, emphasizing his passion for music. His eyes are focused intently on the instrument before him as he effortlessly produces harmonious melodies that resonate through time. The composition is enhanced by Francois de Troy's artistic interpretation after an original painting. The elegant framing captures not only Mouton but also highlights his surroundings – a testament to the meticulous attention given to every aspect of this artwork. Mouton's attire reflects the fashion trends of the period; adorned in a lavish wig and dressed in traditional Baroque clothing, he exudes sophistication and refinement. This portrayal serves as a visual representation of an era where music was highly regarded as an essential form of entertainment. Now housed within London's Foundling Museum as part of their esteemed Gerald Coke Handel Collection, this engraving continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. It stands as a tribute not only to Mouton but also to all musicians who have dedicated their lives to creating beautiful melodies that transcend generations
