06 Samuel Goldenberg and Schmüyle
A conversation between a rich and a poor Jew about the future order of the world. Mussorgsky depicts this musically through the pompous and puffed-up behavior of the rich man (left) and the lamentations of the poor man (right).
Pictures at an exhibition by Modest Moessorgski
It is a ten-part suite by Modest Musorgsky (1874) a Russian composer. Inspired by paintings by his friend the painter Viktor Hartman. I painted my version. These were projected through a keynote presentation by Jan Penninkhof while the suite was played by colleague Gerard van der Laan (pianist).
