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 [...]

The Life of an Early Trombone Painting
Throughout art history, you can occasionally find multiple versions of the same image. Sometimes the versions are from the same artist (e.g., preparatory sketches), sometimes they are by other artists in other media (e.g., from a painting to an engraving), and sometimes they are copycat versions by other artists. There are several historical examples of [...]

Giorgio Vasari and the Renaissance 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 [...]
Trombone in Sacred Music
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 [...]
Another Baroque Still Life with Trombone
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 [...]

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 [...]

Viennese Angel-Trombonist

I also added it to the HubPages articles Angel Trombonists Throughout History and How to Hold a Sackbut: The Grip of the Early Trombone in Pictures. 1725-30—Vienna, Austria: A fresco by Johann Michael Rottmayr in the Karlskirche (St. Charles’s Church) includes a [...]

Trombonist in Costume
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 [...]
Baroque Trombonist on Horseback
Just added the following caption and picture to the 17th century timeline (first half). If you go to the post, Hi Ho Brass! Trombones on Horseback, you can see several other pictures of brave souls who apparently attempted the feat of playing the trombone while on horseback. Also, for more trombones in processions, see here [...]
Musicians and Mercury
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 [...]
