Fine Art Friday


A Music Party
Arthur Hughes, 1864

This painting makes me laugh today. 
What music can be playing that is putting them all into a stupor? 
I just heard a most glorious concert of
Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto
which was thrilling in its vigor and virtuosity. 
The boy in the back of A Music Party reminds me of my son
during certain poetry readings…giving in to a languid, ‘this will eventually be over’ state.

Happy Friday, all.

  1. Now I was going to count the kitchen drawer pictures as your *Fine Art* entry….ya know – design, perspective, and color.  It was all there 🙂
    This one is lovely though.  I have several I keeping meaning to share with you in mind…..of reading/readers/books. 
    Back to work….still a few more hours in the workday here.  Then a walk.  Then a movie w/DH.

  2. Another beautiful redhead! Is that a musical instrument next to the dark haired boy to the right? The children are either mesmerized by the music or getting sleepy because it’s a lullaby.
