About the piece
Attributed to Evaristo Baschenis around 1670, this masterful still life celebrates the geometry and materiality of musical instruments. The composition features lutes and a violin meticulously rendered with soft light highlighting the wood grain and delicate strings, set against a deep, dramatic background characteristic of the Italian Baroque period.
