EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned French composer and court musician, Jean Baptiste Lully (1639-1687), surrounded by the elegant trappings of the royal court. The image, created in 1687 by the skilled hand of the French painter, Mignard (Claude Gellee, 1640-1710), and engraved by Roullet (Jean-Baptiste, 1625-1695), offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Baroque era. Lully, a curly-haired, oval-faced man with a distinguished air, is seen in the center, holding a score in his hands. His long, flowing wig, a sign of his noble status, frames his face, adding to his regal appearance. The intricate details of his clothing, from the velvet coat to the lace cuffs, speak to the wealth and power of the court. The print, created in the late 17th century, is a testament to the important role that music played in the lives of the French nobility. Lully, a prolific composer and a favorite of King Louis XIV, was a central figure in the royal court, responsible for creating music for the king's entertainments and religious ceremonies. This historical image, with its rich details and intricate design, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the French court during the Baroque period. The print, a beautiful work of art in its own right, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of music and the arts to transport us to another time and place.
