LAURENT DE LA HYRE. allegory of music

Allegory of Music. Artist: Laurent de La Hyre (French, Paris 1606-1656 Paris). Dimensions: 41 5/8 x 56 3/4 in. (105.7 x 144.1 cm). Date: 1649.
The allegorical figure tunes a theorbo. At her shoulder is a songbird, symbol of natural music, whereas by contrast she may be a representation of modern music theory and practice. To the right are various contemporary instruments and scores: a lute, a violin, two recorders, a vocal exercise, and a song in two parts. This canvas, originally flanked by two music-making putti (Musée Magnin, Dijon), belonged to a series of the seven Liberal Arts commissioned by Gédéon Tallemant (1613-1668) for his house in the Marais quarter in Paris.
