"Vielle: A Melodic Journey Through Time and Art" Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of vielle, a captivating musical instrument that has transcended centuries. From Antibes, France - The Old Town with its charming cobblestone streets to the breathtaking backdrop of the majestic Alps, this ancient stringed instrument has left its mark on history. Intriguingly depicted in various art forms throughout time, vielle's significance is evident. In Adam and Eve led out of Paradise by Death, we witness its presence among other musicians in an exquisite medieval manuscript from 1170. The Hunterian Psalter showcases the talent and skill required to create such harmonious melodies. Fast forward to 1774 when Miss Anne Gore mesmerized audiences as a Savoyarde while holding her vielle gracefully. Oil on canvas immortalizes this moment, capturing both her beauty and the allure of this timeless instrument. The evolution continues as we delve into fashion history; a woman dressed in embroidered duvetin with otter trim proudly displays her vielle-inspired attire from 1913. This fusion of music and fashion demonstrates how art intertwines different aspects of human expression. Moving further back through time, Ms Fr 22532 fol. 336 Concert transports us to an era where vielle was central to musical gatherings. Its soulful notes filled grand halls as people reveled in its melodic embrace. Artists have also paid tribute to vielle through their masterpieces; The Blind Hurdy Gurdy Player captures the poignant image of a musician lost within his own melody while Saint Francis finds solace accompanied by a celestial angel playing this cherished instrument. Even Leonardo da Vinci himself acknowledged the charm of vielle; An Angel in Green with a Vielle showcases his genius circle's interpretation during c1500s South Kensington Museum engraving reveals how these instruments were displayed for admiration at one point in history.
