EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a masterpiece from the 1620s by Dutch artist Hendrick Ter Brugghen. Titled "Boy playing the Lute" this oil on canvas painting measures 103x84 cm and is housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. Part of a series depicting the Five Senses, this particular artwork represents "Hearing". The image portrays a young boy engrossed in his musical performance, skillfully strumming the strings of his lute. His focused expression reveals his deep connection to the music he creates, while his stylish hat adds an element of sophistication to his appearance. The allegorical nature of this piece invites viewers to contemplate not only the joy and beauty of music but also its profound impact on our senses. Ter Brugghen was part of the Utrecht Caravaggisti movement during the Golden Age of Dutch art. Influenced by Caravaggio's use of dramatic lighting and naturalistic style, Ter Brugghen masterfully captures both light and shadow in this composition, creating a sense of depth and realism. With its rich symbolism and exquisite execution, "Boy playing the Lute" stands as a testament to Ter Brugghen's talent as well as an enduring representation of music's ability to transport us into another realm. This print serves as a reminder that art has no expiration date; it continues to inspire generations even centuries after its creation.
