EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate XI: Instruments played with a bow" takes us back in time to the 18th century. The image is an engraving from the Encyclopedia of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert, created between 1751 and 1772 by Robert Benard. In this particular plate, we are presented with three fascinating instruments that are played using a bow. The first instrument depicted is a cello, its elegant curves and strings beautifully captured in intricate detail. Next to it stands the tromba marina, an unusual instrument known for its long neck and single string vibrating through a wooden bridge. Lastly, we see a violin exuding gracefulness with its slender shape. The artist's skillful use of shading creates depth within each instrument, emphasizing their unique characteristics. This print not only showcases these remarkable musical tools but also serves as a testament to the craftsmanship of musicians during this era. Part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this artwork allows us to appreciate the historical significance of these instruments while offering insight into the rich cultural heritage they represent. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can almost hear echoes of melodies past emanating from these timeless instruments played with such finesse by talented musicians centuries ago.
