Een vocaal concert 1565 - 1630

"Een vocaal concert" is an etching by Antonio Tempesta, a 16th and 17th-century Italian artist. The etching, dating back to 1565-1630, depicts a group of people singing from sheet music, their expressions ranging from focused concentration to comical exaggeration. The detailed depiction of the singers and their instruments highlights Tempesta's talent for capturing the energy and vibrancy of a musical performance. This humorous and satirical portrayal of musicians is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
