EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from a Flemish Book of Hours, dating back to the 16th century. Titled "Musicians in a cobbled street" this detailed illuminated calendar page for May transports us to a bygone era. The image depicts a lively gathering of musicians, their instruments creating an enchanting melody that fills the air. The setting is reminiscent of Bruges, with its charming cobblestone streets and medieval architecture providing the perfect backdrop for this musical spectacle. A drummer passionately beats his drum while two individuals skillfully play the harp and lute respectively, adding layers of harmony to the composition. In the distance, we catch sight of a ladder leaning against one of the buildings, perhaps hinting at some hidden narrative or purpose. Measuring 19.2x13.3 cm, this exquisite piece is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Its delicate vellum material adds an extra touch of elegance and authenticity to this historical artifact. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only beautiful music but also appreciate how art has always been intertwined with human expression throughout history.
