In this episode we continue our look at musical instruments in Edmund Blair Leighton paintings. He created many Regency era love scenes and the hauntingly beautiful How Lisa Loved the King - a subject from Boccaccio’s The Decameron. The programme features lute and harp music and Music from the Time of Boccaccio's Decameron (14th century) performed by Musica Reservata and soloists using instruments such as rebecs, citoles and recorders to evoke that era.
WHERE ART AND MUSIC COLLIDE
The connections we are making this week are with works created by Paul Cézanne, Henri Fantin-Latour, John Collier and Gabriel von Max, inspired by the story of Tannhäuser and Wagner’s music.

As we continue to explore symbiotic relationships between examples of visual art and classical music – our final episode on Salvador Dali.
Dance is a motif often found in his painting, and we explore examples of his art where some form of dance is present - work created during the formative years of Dalí’s artistic journey, a period before he fully embraced Surrealism which falls within the realms of Post-Impressionism and Symbolism.
We view some of his ‘theatrical’ works including Broken Bridge and the Dream and Queen Salome along with those he created for The Seven Lively Arts, specifically those for music, opera and - ballet.
