| Description: |
Master of the King's Musick to Charles I, and the first to hold that office, Nicholas Lanier was a notable composer, singer and virtuoso instrumentalist, and also a practising painter and friend of Rubens and Van Dyck. Here, the different strands of his life are gathered up and presented. |
| Synopsis: |
Nicholas Lanier (1588-1666) was not only the first person to hold the office of Master of the Music to King Charles I, he was also a practising painter, a friend of Rubens, Van Dyck and many other artists of his time, and one of the very first great art collectors and connoisseurs. He is especially remembered for the part he played in acquiring, on behalf of Charles I, the famous collection of paintings belonging to the Gonzaga family of Mantua. Many of these paintings still form an important part of the Royal Collection today. In this book the different strands of Lanier's colourful life are for the first time drawn together and presented in a single compelling narrative. |
