IOW, fully 25% of these selections.
I learned something in searching for Zampognari.
Each of these works evokes differing emotions. Fantastic!
As ever, your observational initiative wins the day, John.
And what better occasion on which to blow those pipes!
The zampognari are often accompanied by another shepherd playing a piffero (fife), also called a ciaramella. Glad you found so many of the paintings having these instruments.
...and discovered, rather serendipitously, when I actively "looked for" something, whether it'd be pipers, scolls, ox/donks, or lambs,
...that the paintings/artworks took on added character and deeper meaning.
EG: I just happened to notice that in many instances, the ox was portrayed more in the light, more 'present', whereas the donkey was more often in shadow, maybe to suggest 'in the (dimly seen at the time) future'.
Try it for yourselves maybe....see what happens...say, which of the paintings contain an ox/donk + lamb + scroll + piper? 2 out of 4? 2 out of 3? etc. Might be interesting for you as it was for me. I hope so!
Might circle back to that, but presently my ability to focus is in full use in preparing a future thread.
