Allegory on the praise of music; Praise to music; Encomium Musices. Allegory on the praise of music. Title print for the series entitled: Encomium Mucies. In the middle an open book with the music notation of the six-membered motet: Nata, Et Grata Polo, et vocum Discordia Concors Musica, Scitque Gays more Flectere, Scitque Deos. Flectere Scitque Feras: At Quisquis Nescius Illa Flextier, is NEC Homo, NEC Fera, Sed Lapis Est (the music was born in heaven and pleases God with her multi-mentioningness that sounds in harmony. She can touch both mortals and Gods, and she can touch. Even wild animals. The one who is not stirred by music is not a human or animal, but a stone). The music book is held by three women's figures: Harmonia, Musica and Mensura. Musica (in the middle) wears a laurel wreath on the head. Harmonia (left) has a winged heart, with ears, in the right hand. Mensura has a T-shaped instrument with bells in the left hand (the precursor of the metronome?). The three personifications are surrounded by musical instruments and music books that together form an ornamental border to form the music book. They are both contemporary instruments, reconstructions of old instruments, as your own diverses. The print is part of an album.
