Below is another angel trombonist I just added to the Trombone History Timeline. Quite a nice little drawing, in my opinion. For many more pictures of angels playing trombone, see Angel Trombonists Throughout History: 50 Images. c. 1610—Loreto, Italy: Artist Cristoforo Roncalli, known as “Pomarancio,” makes a set of preparatory red chalk drawings for a [...]

Angel-Trombonist from Italian Switzerland
Just added the below entry and image to the Trombone History Timeline (17th century, 2nd half). I will probably also add it to the HubPages article, Angel-Trombonists Throughout History. I’ve also included the larger view on this post, not just the detail view shown in the Timeline. 1652-55—Preonzo, Switzerland: A fresco in the ceiling [...]

Trombone on Baroque Organ Shutters
I just added the below image and caption to the Trombone History Timeline (17th century, first half). Another angel-trombone. 1638—Schleiz, Germany: A painting on the left organ shutter in the Bergkirche includes an angel trombonist among several angel musicians (see below image; public domain).

Angel Plays Serpent
I just added the below image and caption to the post, Serpent & Ophicleide: History and Images, bringing the total number of images on that post to 81. The angel’s playing position is interesting—makes the instrument almost look like a bari sax! 1704-14—Saalfeld, Germany: Carlo Ludovico Castelli paints an angel playing a serpent in Saalfeld’s [...]

Trombone in Bavarian Abbey
Just added the below image and entry to the Trombone History Timeline (18th century). Interesting visual perspective—and definitely an unorthodox grip if it’s a trombone. c. 1705—Irsee, Germany (near Kaufbeuren): A fresco by Magnus Remy (1674-1734) decorating the ceiling of Irsee Abbey features angels playing various brass instruments, including what appears to be a [...]
More Angel-Trombones on Pipe Organs
Added the below entry and picture to the Trombone History Timeline (18th century) and to an old blog post titled Perching on the Pipes: Trombone & Organ Images. What a beautiful instrument—and two trombones to top it off! 1740—Coburg, Germany: A Schuke organ is installed in St. Moriz Church. Atop the pipes are two angel-trombonists [...]

Bone in the Clouds: Another Baroque Angel-Trombonist
Today I added another image to the Trombone History Timeline (17th century, first half)—yet another angel-trombonist. I’ll also be adding it to the HubPages article, Angel-Trombonists Throughout History. Below is the drawing, along with the timeline caption. The artist is actually known primarily for his work as an early art historian. The image looks like [...]

Trombone in Stained Glass
Several months ago I posted Canvas, Paper, Silver, and Glass: St. Cecilia Trombone Image in Many Forms, which included a trombone image in painted glass. Trombone images of this type seem to be relatively rare, but last week I added a stained-glass image from the small English village of Booton (Norfolk) to the Trombone History [...]

Music Reading and Trombone History: 10 Early Images
I recently added the below image of a wind band from the Seville Cathedral (1564) to the Trombone History Timeline (16th century). This image brought to mind a discussion in a book I’ve been reading regarding exactly when, in the history of the trombone, players began reading from printed music. Here is the assertion: Speaking [...]

Trombone History: Another Angel-Trombonist
Added the below entry and image to the 16th Century Timeline. It hardly needs mentioning if you’ve looked at the overall Trombone History Timeline or the HubPages article on Angel-Trombonists, but the number of trombonists depicted as angels in artwork throughout history is really remarkable. c. 1590—Ravenna, Italy: Giovanni Laurenti’s painting in the Basilica of Santa [...]
