"Music" by William Michael Harnett is a notable example of 19th-century American trompe-l'œil painting, a genre that seeks to deceive the viewer's eye into perceiving painted details as three-dimensional objects. Created in 1886, this oil on canvas work exemplifies Harnett's masterful technique and his fascination with the illusionistic representation of everyday objects.

Harnett, an Irish-born American painter, is renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render objects with astonishing realism. "Music" features a collection of musical instruments and sheet music, arranged in a seemingly casual yet carefully composed manner. The painting includes a violin, a sheet of music, a flute, and a small brass horn, all rendered with such precision that they appear almost tangible. The textures of the wood, metal, and paper are depicted with a high degree of verisimilitude, showcasing Harnett's skill in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow.

The composition of "Music" reflects Harnett's interest in the themes of leisure and culture, common in his still-life works. The choice of musical instruments as the subject matter not only highlights the artist's technical prowess but also evokes a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the arts. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the beauty of the objects and the skill required to create both the instruments and the artwork itself.

"Music" is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the trompe-l'œil tradition. Harnett's work remains influential, and "Music" stands as a testament to his legacy as one of the foremost American still-life painters of the 19th century.
