Beckoned silently to the rest to follow him, (1907). Creator: Unknown
Beckoned silently to the rest to follow him, (1907). The young Handel is discovered playing the spinet in an attic at night:faint musical sounds proceeding from behind the closed door...the master softly lifted the latch, and, having peeped into the room, beckoned silently to the rest to follow him...For there, seated before the spinet, was the white-robed figure of the child, his face half turned towards them, and his eyes, as they caught the light of the lantern, revealing the dreamy, rapt expression of one who is lost to every earthly surrounding. An episode from the life of German composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759). From " Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by F.J. Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Beckoned silently to the rest to follow him" (1907), transports us back in time to witness a remarkable episode from the life of German composer George Frideric Handel. The scene unfolds in an attic at night, where faint musical sounds emanate from behind a closed door. Intrigued by this enchanting melody, the master cautiously approaches and softly lifts the latch. As he peeks into the room, his eyes are met with a mesmerizing sight: seated before a spinet is a young boy dressed in flowing white robes. His face turned partially towards them, his dreamy gaze reveals that he is completely lost in his own world of music. The lantern's light illuminates this ethereal moment, capturing the child prodigy's rapturous expression. The photograph captures not only Handel's surprise but also his recognition of extraordinary talent within this young musician. In that silent beckoning gesture, he invites others to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle unfolding before their very eyes. This image beautifully encapsulates both the power of music and the timeless allure of childhood innocence. It serves as a poignant reminder that genius can emerge unexpectedly even amidst humble surroundings like an attic at night. Preserved through time and brought forth by Heritage Images for our admiration today, this evocative print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating Handel's enduring legacy as one of classical music's greatest composers.
