Art inspired by music. Music inspired by art.
We know that artists can take emotions and atmospheres evoked by sound and interpret them into something visual, as can composers recreate with sound, images from a canvas or other form of visual art. The possibilities are endless… The Culture Show continues to make connections between these two art forms.

Respighi/Bottecelli Martinu/Piero della Francesca
As we continue to explore symbiotic relationships between examples of visual art and classical music, in this episode we travel to Italy to make two connections.
Respighi's Trittico Bottcelliano is an evocation of three celebrated paintings by Sandro Botticelli. The artist's 'Spring' draws on classical mythology and celebrates nature. The centrepiece of Respighi’s triptych is 'The Adoration of the Magi', based on one of Botticelli’s many depictions of the nativity. The 'Birth of Venus', one of the most famous paintings in the world, celebrates Venus as symbol of love and beauty, and Respighi’s music is a hymn to this eternal beauty.
Martinů's The Frescoes of Piero della Francesca orchestral triptych was inspired by a cycle of the Renaissance artist's frescoes entitled 'Legend of the True Cross', one of the most famous and well-known pictorial cycles throughout the world that the composer saw in the Basilica of Saint Francis in Arezzo, Italy.
