Luit spelende man 1610 - 1665

"Luit spelende man" is an etching by Salomon Savery, created sometime between 1610 and 1665. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a plumed hat playing a lute. The artist masterfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume, capturing the man's intense focus as he plays. The detailed rendering of the lute strings and the man's expressive face brings the scene to life, showcasing Savery's skill in capturing the essence of music and the human spirit.
