Das querformatig angelegte Supraportgemälde zeigt im Zentrum den jugendlichen Apoll mit Violine, umringt von äußerst elegant gewandeten Musen, die weitere Instrumente spielen. Seitlich eingefasst wird die in einer hügeligen Landschaft wiedergegebene Szenerie von Hermenpilastern, die den Eindruck einer Supraporte unterstreichen. Gekonnt hat der Maler die Figuren zu kleinen Dreiergruppen zusammengefasst, denen auf sich konzentriert spielende einzelne Musen zur Seite gestellt sind. Der in der Mitte thronende Apoll ist dabei der einzige, dessen Blick sich zum Betrachter richtet. Prachtvoll sind die juwelengleichen Farben in heiterem Spiel nebeneinander gesetzt und fügen der kompositorischen eine farbliche Harmonie hinzu. (1070284) (12)
Prague School, early 17th century
APOLLO AT THE MUSES' MOUNTAIN
Oil on canvas. Relined.
35.5 x 75 cm.
This landscape format overdoor painting shows a youthful Apollo playing the violin at its centre surrounded by very elegantly dressed Muses also playing musical instruments. The scene is set in a hilly landscape and framed either side by herm pillars which emphasize the impression of an overdoor painting. The painter has skilfully arranged the figures in groups of three, interspersed with single Muses engrossed in playing their instruments. Enthroned at the centre, only Apollo looks directly at the viewer. Magnificent jewel-like colours are playfully juxtaposed and the balance of complementary colours contributes to the compositional harmony.
