"A Music Lesson, Seville" is a painting by the Scottish artist John Phillip (1817–1867), known for his genre works and his depictions of Spanish life and culture. Phillip, often referred to as "Phillip of Spain" due to his fascination with the country, painted "A Music Lesson, Seville" during one of his visits to Spain in the mid-19th century. The painting captures a candid moment of cultural exchange, where a music teacher is seen giving a lesson to a young pupil, reflecting the artist's interest in the everyday life of the Spanish people.

The work is characteristic of Phillip's detailed and vibrant style, showcasing his ability to render textures and fabrics with precision. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the figures and emphasizes the intimacy of the scene. The setting is typically Andalusian, with architectural elements and decorative details that situate the viewer firmly in Seville, a city that inspired much of Phillip's Spanish-themed oeuvre.

"A Music Lesson, Seville" is significant as an example of 19th-century Orientalism, where Western artists depicted Eastern and Southern European, North African, and Middle Eastern cultures with a romanticized or exotic lens. Phillip's work, while Orientalist in nature, is often noted for its empathetic portrayal of Spanish subjects, setting him apart from contemporaries who might have depicted such scenes with a more voyeuristic approach.

The painting is part of Phillip's broader body of work that contributed to the Victorian fascination with Spain and helped shape British perceptions of Spanish culture during the period. "A Music Lesson, Seville" not only reflects Phillip's technical skill as a painter but also serves as a cultural document of the time, offering insight into the cross-cultural interactions and the romantic allure of Spain to the British artistic imagination of the 19th century.
