EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century painting, titled "Muse concert with Apollo" transports us to a world of mythological enchantment. Created by Frans Francken II the Younger, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Tournai, Belgium. In this scene, we witness Apollo himself presiding over a gathering of muses as they create harmonious melodies on various instruments. Perched upon a rock and playing the violin with grace and finesse, Apollo exudes an aura of divine inspiration. The muses surrounding him skillfully play the organ, flute, lute, cello, and violin while Pegasus soars above them. The painting's composition is rich with symbolism and allegory. It captures the essence of music as a source of inspiration and creativity. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the lush landscape to the intricate musical instruments held by each muse. Francken's mastery lies in his ability to blend elements from ancient Greek mythology with contemporary Baroque style. This fusion creates a timeless work that transcends eras and cultures. As we gaze at this print captured by Maeyaert/AIC Photography for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness this mythical concert firsthand. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it speaks directly to our souls regardless of when it was created or where it originated.
