Zusammenfassung:"In the ancient confraternity of San Niccolò del Ceppo, Florence¬one of the rare lay companies still in existence thereat¬is preserved an unusual vanitas. The macabre theme of death is represented by a skeleton smashing musical instruments. Both partbooks (with legible notation) and scrolls provide a rich set of paratexts, with the over-all motto according to Psalm 45 [46] ("He breaks the bow and shatters the spear"), and a clue to the painting’s original function ("A group of musicians assembled for the sake of salvation"). Erroneously considered up till now a seventeenth-century anonymous work, the stylistic impact of Jacopo Ligozzi, a master of the vanitas genre, is strong. Among the iconographic models, a drawing recently attributed to Ligozzi can be identified, further-more Federico Zuccari’s Giudizio universale for the dome of Florence Cathedral. Based on archival evidence, the original context of the vanitas painting as ‘apparatus’ within the collective rituals of a musicians’ confraternity can now be determined, furthermore its author (Michele Lepri) as well as the year of its creation (1721). Compliant with the new dating are also organological details, such as the characteristic features of the early eighteenth-century oboe."
