ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Musicians is a 1524 ink by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, depicting Lute, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a group of people playing music together in this engraving. The scene is intimate, with the musicians gathered in a small space. This was a common theme in art at the time, and Lucas van Leyden's work shows a lot of detail and texture. Check out the work of artist Lucas van Leyden to see more of his detailed engravings.
