This spinet was made for Eleonora della Rovere, duchess of Urbino, the daugher of Isabella d'Este. The motto inscribed above the keys means "I am rich in gold and rich in tone; if you lack goodness, leave me alone." On the back of this strip is written, "Ordered and made for Her Excellency the Duchess of Urbino in the year of our Salvation 1540 and paid 250 roman scudi." This beautifully preserved spinet bears elaborate decoration of certosina work, painting, carving, and intarsia. Dolphins appear in the inlay flanking the keyboard perhaps executed by a German craftsman, and mythological figures make up the carved keyboard brackets. Symmetrical traceries over the keyboard reflect the sound hole's delicate Gothic design.Free picture Spinet integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
