EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite detail from a 1740 painting by the renowned Flemish artist Peter Jacob Horemans depicts Johanna de Lasandes, a virtuoso musician of the Baroque era, in the midst of a private luncheon. The image captures a moment of respite from her busy musical career, as she enjoys a leisurely meal surrounded by her cherished musical instruments. The centerpiece of the scene is Johanna herself, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the day, her expressive face lost in thought as she gazes at the open pages of a music book. Her hands, poised to play, reveal her expertise and dedication to her craft. The table is set with fine china and silverware, indicating the refinement and affluence of her lifestyle. The artistic detail in this print is truly remarkable. The intricately carved wooden chair, the delicate folds of Johanna's dress, and the rich textures of the tablecloth and tableware all come to life under Horemans' skilled brush. The inclusion of the assorted musical instruments adds depth and intrigue to the scene, hinting at the rich tapestry of music that filled Johanna's world. The presence of a cello, a violin, and a horn in the painting suggests that Johanna was a versatile musician, adept at playing various genres and styles. The inclusion of these instruments also serves to underscore the importance of music in the daily life of the European aristocracy during this period. This detail from a larger work of art offers a glimpse into the world of Johanna de Lasandes, a remarkable woman who lived and breathed music in the Baroque era. It is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the beauty and richness of history.
