Concert of cherubs on Earth 1646

Wenceslaus Hollar’s 1646 etching *Concert of Cherubs on Earth* depicts six cherubic figures engaged in musical performance. The cherubs, all with angelic wings, play a variety of instruments, including a violin, flute, lute, and a large double bass. This artwork, a notable example of Baroque art, captures the harmonious energy of music, contrasting with the somber mood of the period. The etching showcases Hollar's skill in rendering detail and creating a lively scene.
