The successive musical consorts that are observable through the analysis of the Veronese’s canvas The Wedding at Cana (1563) were transformed from one to another through a graphic-evolutionary process, both in terms of their nature and their instrumental configuration. The authors present here, and illustrate graphically, a documented model that ac...

Giorgio de Castelfranco y los violines perdidos de Las Bodas de Caná del Veronés (1563). Tercer y Cuarto Consorts. La causa de la aparición de instrumentos “de tránsito” (violines) en brazos del Veronés, antes de la resolución del consort definitivo como uno de violas da gamba, hay que buscarla entre las prácticas de las escuelas musicales de los m...

De la observación de las imágenes de rayos-X obtenidas con motivo de la restauración del lienzo Las Bodas de Caná de Paolo Caliari, se desprende la evidencia de que el rostro representado debajo del violagambista hasta ahora desconocido — Diego Ortiz — que se halla detrás del autor es el de Giorgio de Castelfranco, modelo y paradigma de la Escuela...

This paper completes and carries on the analysis in our previous work regarding the biography and identity of Diego Ortiz, maestro de capilla of the Neapolitan court, who was portrayed by Paolo Caliari, assuming a prominent role beside him in his monumental canvas The Wedding of Cana (1563), while at time the former protagonist of the central music...

Alessandro Vittoria portrayed a large number of relevant contemporary characters in stone there in Venice, and at the same time, he was also portrayed by distinguished artists and friends. One of them, Paolo Caliari, included him in his formidable Wedding at Cana (1563) canvas, along with tens of Venetian and international authorities, renowned loc...

El gigantesco lienzo del Veronés para la congregación de San Giorgio Maggiore acabó siendo, durante los quince meses que tardó en completarse, una empresa bastante accidentada sobre un andamio muy transitado: había sido encargado por los monjes venecianos pocos meses después de comenzar la última convocatoria del Concilio de Trento, y fue entregado...

Diego Ortiz, the Spanish maestro de cappella of the Naples’ Viceregal Court, seems to be portrayed next to Paolo Caliari Il Veronese in his famous canvas The Wedding at Cana, which was delivered with some delay to Benedictine abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore, on October 6th of 1563. Several evidences allow us to conjecture his presence: the obvious re...

How Paolo Caliari buried the great master Giorgione for a second time under the colors of his palette, and the swings of the protagonists of the monumental work that marveled Europe for centuries. The work recounts, in a literary tone, the rugged and laborious remodeling of the central scene of the painting from its beginnings to the providential a...

Musical woodwind instruments made with multiple pipes have a well-known existence from early in Antiquity: double pipes (aulos, arghoul and flutes) from the pharaons’ times and even before in Mesopotamia, and the bagpipes at least from Alexander’s time. The presence of triple pipes is so confirmed around viii century BC, along the Middle Ages until...

Musical woodwind instruments made with multiple pipes have a well-known existence from early in Antiquity: double pipes (aulos, arghoul, and flutes) from the pharaons’ times and even before in Mesopotamia, launeddas and other oriental harmonic designs (sheng, khaen, and others) from the first millennium BC, and the bagpipes at least from Alexander’...

The findings of a 42.000-years-old flute that is atributted to Neanderthal man and which may produce diatony, and those of a certain numbre of 35.000-years-old Cromagnon ‘s tubular flutes, and some more recent 9.000-years-old, both producing this scale type in some cases, confirms that diatony perception (tones and semitones) is a universal constan...
