Cherub-Trombonist by a Man Named Wenceslas

4th Mar 2012 · Trombone History, Trombone Images, Updates

I recently added this print and its caption to the Trombone History Timeline (17th century, first half). I also added it to the article, Trombone History: Cherubs Playing the Trombone, which now features 10 different visual examples.

c. 1650—Artist Wenzel Hollar (known as Wenceslas Hollar in England) includes a trombone-playing putto in his print, Concert of Putti in the Clouds (see below image; public domain) (source: Wenceslas Hollar Digital Collection, University of Toronto, Pl. P500).

I think this is the best one yet.The look in the trombonist's eyes is priceless,as if saying,"What are you playing on that flute there?"
