Gaudenzio Ferarri's Concert of Angels

In this class, we will take a look at the musician angels in Gaudenzio Ferarri's fresco at the Shrine of Our Lady of Miracles at Saronno, completed in 1536. We will talk about the many interesting instruments shown being played, as well as how the depiction compares to current understanding of how those instruments were actually played, as well as touching briefly on the role of music in a sacred setting.
