Painted Music
By Mona Seghatoleslami ~ Posted Wed, 07/15/2015 - 10:55pm
There are at least three great orchestral suites inspired by paintings - and I have a candidate for a fourth.

The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli
Trittico Botticelliano [Three Botticelli Pictures], by Ottorino Respighi

Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald
Mathis der Maler [Mathis the Painter], by Paul Hindemith

Exaltation of the Cross by Piero della Francesco
Frescoes of Piero della Francesca, by Bohuslav Martinu
Now, who is going to write some music for these beauties by Dutch artist Joachim Wtewael?
