Studiolo from the Ducal Palace in Gubbio (detail). Rogers Fund, 1939 (39.153).

 

In the last cabinet of the main wall, we see a jingle ring and a harp propped up by two books. One of Federico's early biographers wrote that the duke "delighted greatly in music, understanding vocal and instrumental music alike, and maintained a fine choir with skilled musicians and many singing boys. He had every sort of instrument in his palace and delighted in their sound, also the most skillful players. He preferred delicate to loud instruments, caring little for trombones and the like."
