EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from "The Engagement of St. Ursula and Prince Etherius" painted by the talented Master of Saint Auta in the early 16th century. The focus here lies on the black musicians depicted in this oil on panel masterpiece, measuring 68x73 cm, currently housed at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon, Portugal. Intriguingly, this artwork narrates the story of St. Ursula's engagement to a pagan prince named Etherius. However, she insisted on maintaining her virginity and dedicating herself to serving God for three years before their union took place. This unique aspect sets her apart as an extraordinary figure. Within this particular scene, we witness a group of musicians skillfully playing various instruments such as trumpets and trombones. Their presence adds depth and richness to the composition while emphasizing the grandeur of this historical event. "The Engagement of St. Ursula and Prince Etherius" is not only visually stunning but also carries profound symbolism related to themes like betrothal, martyrdom (as later St. Ursula was martyred by Huns), music, and devotion to faith. Through this remarkable photograph print provided by Fine Art Finder via www. bridgemanimages. com, viewers are granted an intimate glimpse into one small yet significant element within a larger narrative that continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
