The Painting, created by Arthur P.H. Kirmss, represents a consort of woodwind players dressed

in clothing of the 16th and 17th centuries. From left to right they are playing alto cornet,

alto Shawm, great bass krummhorn and alto recorder.

They are standing in a wooden kiosk roofed with painted and guilded scale shingles, whose walls

are hung with coats of arms. The wooden enclosure is surrounded by plant forms which appear

to fly outward.  The tendrils and leaves lower down are deep blue while those rising higher turn

to green and burst into bloom.  This blossoming is brought about by the sounds of the music. 

This is the "Spirit of the Renaissance", or rebirth of musical culture of the Western world.
