Adrien Willaert performing a mass before the Doge of Venice. Engraving by Charles Billoin (1813–1869), after Edouard Hamman Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris |
||||||||||
| Willaert is depicted accompanying the performance of a Mass of his own composition before the Doge of Venice. The group of serious, rough-looking monks, dressed in simple habits and focused on performing the music, add a raw and evocative quality to the scene. The engraving of this depiction was created by Billoin from the painting by Édouard Hamman. |
