This two-part event is a lecture and a concert. Musical instruments frequently appear in Corot’s paintings. The mandolin is one such instrument. During Corot’s period the mandolin underwent a change from gut strings to steel strings, and the method of playing the instrument changed with this shift. The first half of this event will focus on the mandolin. Corot was particularly fond of music and he is known to have attended many concerts and operas. He would sketch the players during performances, and there remain some Corot sketches of a harpist. The second section of this event will focus on harp music as we explore Corot’s musical tastes.
