[CITTERN] Re: new painting

[Andrew Hartig]

Hi all,

There is a medium-large image of Grammatica's painting on artnet at:

http://www.artnet.com/artwork/425274667/424237643/antiveduto-grammatica-allegory-of-music.html


The painting is also discussed by Joël Dugot and 
Florence Gétreau, in their article, "Citterns in 
French Public Collections. Instruments and 
musical iconography." from the Michaelstein 
Conference Book (MKB66), but also available as a 
PDF or Word Document on-line (without the figures 
and images) from the insanely long link, here:

In the article, Dugot and Gétreau compare the 
Salvatori instrument with that depicted by 
Grammatica (and possibly compied by M. Lasne in a woodcut of the same subject).

Best,
Andrew

Dear All,

 Martin Shepherd has just informed me that a recently discovered painting of
a 6course cittern by Antiveduto Grammatica is to be sold at Robilant & Voena
Gallery, Dover St, London.

It was illustrated yesterday, Tuesday 27th, in the Daily Telegraph.  Does
anybody have a copy?

Best wishes,  Peter.
