Giovanni Battista Cecchi

An antique print depicting a lively secular genre scene, with a group of musicians intent on playing the lute, the violin, and reading a score. As the inscription below states, the work illustrates a 'Company of Burgundians, who study Music'. The most historically and collectability-interesting detail is located at the bottom left, where the engraving clearly bears the inscription 'Caravaggio pin.' (Caravaggio pinxit), attributing the invention of the original subject to the famous Michelangelo Merisi. The broad italic caption also mentions the painting from which it is derived belonging to a prestigious Florentine noble collection ('nei Capponi in Firenze'). The print needs restoration.
