EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed composer and keyboard player, Michael Arne. Painted by Johann Zoffany between 1762 and 1783, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 74.9x62.2 cm and is currently housed in the Gerald Coke Handel Collection at the Foundling Museum in London. Michael Arne's notable achievements are highlighted in this striking image. As a natural son of Thomas Arne, he inherited his father's musical talent and went on to conduct the first performance of Handel's Messiah in Germany in 1772. His contribution to music history is immeasurable. The artist skillfully captures Arne's features, emphasizing his prominent nose which adds character to his visage. The composition also includes elements that symbolize his profession as a song writer; a quill rests beside him while sheet music lies nearby, hinting at his creative process. This exquisite painting from Bridgeman Images invites viewers into an intimate encounter with one of music's great figures. It serves as a testament to Arne's legacy and offers us a glimpse into the world of classical music during the eighteenth century. As we admire this remarkable print, we are reminded of how art can immortalize individuals who have made significant contributions to society through their talents and passions.
