COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
This is an early painting by the artist, showing the influence of Frans Hals. Perfectly poised to play a note, the rosy-cheeked musician engages the audience with his expressive eyes and wide grin. The painting reflects the Haarlem tradition of depicting musicians and is characteristic of the 17th-century Netherlandish admiration for music. <p> <table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor="#99cccc"> <tr valign=middle><td><img src="/support/gif/listen.gif" border=0 valign=middle> Suggested listening (streaming mp3, 2 minutes):<br><a href="#" onClick="w=window.open ('/music1/17_cent/muffat_concerto_grosso.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350');w.opener=this;w.focus();return true"><b>Georg Muffat: Concerto grossoNo. 9 VI Borea</b></a> </td></tr></table>
