The Pathetic Song, 1881
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Eakins is a captivating snapshot of the 19th century American music scene. In this vibrant watercolour print, Eakins skillfully captures the essence of a pianist's recital in full swing. The focal point of the painting is a talented female pianist, dressed elegantly in Victorian attire. Her fingers glide effortlessly across the keys as she pours her heart and soul into each note. The intensity on her face reflects her deep connection to the music she creates. Surrounded by an audience dressed in period clothing, we witness people from all walks of life engrossed in this musical performance. The room comes alive with color and energy as they listen intently to every melodious sound that resonates from the piano. Eakins' attention to detail shines through in his depiction of various musical instruments scattered throughout the room - violins, flutes, and guitars - hinting at a diverse range of talents present at this gathering. "The Pathetic Song" transports us back to a time when live music was cherished and celebrated. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of our culture and heritage. This exquisite piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty and evocative portrayal of musicianship during America's rich artistic history.
