Trombone
I just added the top image and caption (c. 1545) to the 16th century timeline. Giorgio Vasari is a well-known Italian painter, architect, and historian. His book, Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, is one of the most frequently-cited art history texts of all time. Vasari springs up multiple times in relation to [...]
I’ve enjoyed the good fortune of having some pretty patient family members and neighbors who tolerate my sometimes late-night practice sessions. The below trombonist, on the other hand, seems to have pushed his luck too far. The image and caption can also be found in the 19th century timeline. 1838—L’Enragé Musicien, a lithograph by [...]
I just added the below image and caption to the Trombone History Timeline (16th century). Although the image is simpler in several respects, it bears an interesting resemblance to the well-known copperplate engraving by Philippe Galle from 1595 (see 16th century timeline). c. 1530—Augsburg, Germany: Hans Burgkmair (or his circle) paints a pair of images, Concert of [...]
Just added the image and caption below to the Trombone History Timeline (17th century, 2nd half). I’ll also be adding it to the HubPages article, Trombone History: Cherubs Playing the Trombone. 1689—Seville, Spain: The church of the Hospital de los Venerables Sacerdotes, with walls and ceiling painted by Juan Valdés and his son Lucas [...]
Last April I added a Baroque still life to the timeline and mentioned it in this blog. Still life paintings that include trombone are difficult to find; most often, if they include a brass instrument, they seem to include trumpet rather than trombone. However, I recently found the below image, also from the 2nd half [...]
I just added the below image to the post, Serpent & Images: History and Images. The two trombone-like instruments are pretty curious, especially the one on the right. c. 1600—Germany: An image depicting a quintet of civic wind players (Stadtpfeifer) includes what may be a serpent (see far right of below image; public domain) [...]
I just added the below entry and image to the post Serpent & Ophicleide: History and Images. 1607—Dresden, Germany: A depiction of a portion of a procession features 3 cornetts and what may be a serpent (see below image; public domain) (Dresden, Sachsische Landesbibliothek).
Ever had to wear a costume to a gig? I just added the below caption and image to the 16th century trombone history timeline. Now those are some costumes. 1591—Dresden, Germany: A group of elaborately-costumed musicians, documented by artist Daniel Bretschneider, includes a trombonist. The group is part of a larger procession celebrating the baptism of [...]
I just added the below caption and image to the 17th century timeline (1st half). As you can see from this article, trombone was active in processions even well before this seemingly early example. 1614—Dresden, Germany: An image documenting a procession in honor of the baptism of Duke August depicts two trombones and a [...]
I just added the following 3 images to the post Serpent & Ophicleide: History and Images, bringing the total number of images in that post to 90. Enjoy! c. 1800—Nuremberg, Germany: An image depicting Nuremberg military musicians includes a serpent player (see below image; public domain) (Nuremberg, German National Museum). 1828—Great Britain: A military [...]
