[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: portrait of Robert de Visee???
Try this. Any bigger and it would be too pixilated. http://www.rmguitar.info/images/French/HenrietteFanClose.jpg Rob www.rmguitar.info -Original Message- From: David Van Edwards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 August 2007 21:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: baroque-lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: [BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: portrait of Robert de Visee??? Dear Rob, How very interesting! It looks as if the extension is very "kinked" in its length, even more than the sort of offset in the Harz archlute you know well. The higher resolution picture promised in the link turned out to be identical to the initial picture, do you have a higher res pic? But a wonderful relaxed scene as you say. Gives a real insight into the life at least one layer behind the public face of Versailles. Best wishes, David -- The Smokehouse, 6 Whitwell Road, Norwich, NR1 4HB England.

I readily admit to being out of my depth here, but this might be of interest to some. There is no known image of Robert de Visee, but I have come across an image of a painted fan which depicts a theorbist in the chamber of Henriette-Anne, wife of the Duc d'Orleans.If not de Visee, who is it? It's probably not him (I'm rarely so lucky) but it is an interesting picture nonetheless. http://www.rmguitar.info/Fan.htm Rob MacKillop www.rmguitar.info -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
