There are several historical examples of [...]

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 [...]

Baroque Trombone in Color!
In 1609 a Bolognese artist by the name of Guido Reni painted a version of what is typically called an “angel concert” in one of the chapels of Rome’s San Gregorio Magno. I have already posted several black and white views of this fresco, as well as what may be a preparatory drawing, in Trombone History: [...]
