Violin and Bow. Artist: Jefferson D. Chalfant (1856-1931). Dimensions: 36 x 21 5/8 in. (91.4 x 54.9 cm). Date: 1889.This work is a simplified repetition of a picture Chalfant had painted the previous year, "The Old Violin" (Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington), which itself depended on William Michael Harnett's more complex painting of the same title (1886; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.). Here, Chalfant focused only on the fiddle, a popular nineteenth-century instrument, hanging with its bow against a background of silvery paneled wood. Chalfant's precision and exactitude, as well as the extreme austerity of the composition and palette, give his trompe-l'oeil ("deceive the eye") effects astonishing conviction and veracity. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Serenade, Judith Leyster, 1629
1899-65660528
Franz Hals (c. 15821666) was born in southern Netherlandswhat is today Belgium. A Dutch Golden Age painter, Hals is credited as a revolutionary in the field of portraiture. He was particularly known for the way he captured light and atmosphere. Shown here is The Jolly Mandolinist (Der Naar), pained in 1625. It is a portrait of one of Hals' favorite pupiles, Adriaen Brouwer, who was renowned for his music talent and his love of practical jokes. A snapshot would not have h ad a more instantaneous effect. The Spanish costume suggests celebration of one of the famous Haarlem masquerades. Among his works are Banquet of the Officers of the Calivermen Civic Guard, Catharina Hooft and her Nurse, Gipsy Girl, and Malle Babbe.
