Still Life with Musical Instruments is a 1657 oil by Evaristo Baschenis, a Barbizon school work, held at Pinacoteca di Brera.
This painting shows a collection of musical instruments and other objects. There's a violin lying on its side, a lute, and a harp. Some books and sheets of music are scattered around. The colors are mostly dark, with some lighter shades on the instruments. The way the light falls on the instruments creates a sense of depth. It's like the light is coming from the right side of the painting. If you like this painting, you might want to check out more works by Evaristo Baschenis.
