EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the talented American composer and pianist, Ethelbert Nevin. The image is an illustration from the renowned book "The Lure of Music" by Olin Downes, published in 1922. Captured by Emerson Chase, a notable photographer of that era, this lithograph perfectly captures Nevin's essence. Nevin's portrait exudes confidence and sophistication as he gazes into the distance with a hint of introspection. His refined features are accentuated by the play of light and shadow, adding depth to his character. Dressed in formal attire, he embodies the elegance associated with classical musicians. Intriguingly, nestled within this composition is a vignette depicting Narcissus - a mythological figure known for his beauty and self-obsession. This subtle inclusion suggests Nevin's own artistic journey: one filled with passion for music but also an intimate relationship with oneself. This print offers us a glimpse into the world of Ethelbert Nevin - a man who dedicated his life to composing beautiful melodies that continue to resonate today. It serves as both an homage to his talent and an invitation for viewers to explore his musical legacy further. As part of a private collection now made available through Fine Art Finder via Bridgeman Images, this timeless piece allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Nevin's contribution to American music history.
