Parlem de Pintura...
Domenicus van Wijnen (Amsterdam, 1658 - Amsterdam, 1700) va ser un pintor holandès. A partir del 1674 va rebre formació de Willem Doudijns a La Haia, ciutat des d'on el 1680 es va traslladar a Roma. Allà hi va viure fins el 1690 i es va associar amb els artistes de la Bentvueghels. Com a pintor, es va especialitzar en obra religiosa, al·legòrica i històrica. Domenicus van Wijnen, la vida del qual va ser en general bastant desconeguda, va morir a Amsterdam el 1700.
Parlem de Música...
Leopold I (Leopold Ignaz Joseph Balthasar Franz Felician) (Wien, 9 de juny de 1640 - Wien, 5 de maig de 1705) va ser un compositor austríac i emperador del Sacre Imperi Romanogermànic. Fill de Ferdinand III i membre dels Habsburg, va rebre formació del jesuïta Johann Eberhard Neidhardt. En el marc d'aquesta formació, va rebre instrucció musical exhaustiva, tant pel que fa a l'ús d'instruments com a teoria i composició musical. Es creu que entre els seus mestres hi van destacar Antonio Bertali i els germans Markus Ebner (1612-1681) i Wolfgang Ebner. El 1655 va publicar la seva primera col·lecció musical per títol Spartitura compositionum sacrae regiae maiestatis Hungariae, Leopoldi I. El 1658, i després de la mort del seu pare, va ser coronat emperador del Sacre Imperi Romanogermànic. No obstant, i tot i la importància i obligacions del seu càrrec reial, al llarg del temps va continuar la seva labor musical, especialment en el camp del mecenatge. En aquest sentit, cal destacar la quantitat de músics que van treballar al servei de la seva capella musical com els italians Antonio Bertali, G.F. Sances, Antonio Draghi, Giovanni Bononcini, M.A. Ziani i Francesco Conti o els alemanys i austríacs J.H. Schmelzer, J.K. Kerll i J.J. Fux. Com a compositor, va ser notablement prolífic, especialment en música dramàtica molta de la qual es va programar habitualment en el repertori de l'època i lògicament de la seva cort. I contràriament al que hom pot a priori imaginar, va ser un compositor refinat en tota la seva dimensió, especialment a l'hora de seleccionar els texts que acompanyaven la seva música, considerada de gran qualitat. Leopold I va morir a Viena el maig de 1705.

There are also 2 lost sepolcri, and far more than 100 arias and scenes in sacred and secular dramatic works of his court composers. The Distinta Specificatione (after 1684, probably around 1685 or a few years later) is a catalogue for works going to the court chapel; there is no temporary catalogue of his private music collection, I published a reconstruction (which appeared 2 months ago at Hollitzer in Vienna). Most of those items are online at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (onb.ac.at). He might have written quite a lot of incidental music, maybe about 17 pieces. And heaps of lost arias etcetera. And maybe El Prometeo, which by no means is an opera by Draghi. Actually Leopold studied Spanish music, he urged his ambassador in Madrid to send "tonos humanos" and "villancicos" as well as the score of Hidalgo's opera Celos aun del aire matan. I am actually making a commented work-list. Thank you for the requiem! If he wouldn't have been an Emperor he could have got a good job as a composer. By the way, his last composition is a beautiful aria with a solo trombone, in a sepolcro by Marc'Antonio Ziani, which was performed only weeks before his death.
