Day 71 of #selfquarantine - The Thomas Wilmer Dewing's work of art "America Receiving the Nine Muses" painted on a #GildedAgeSteinway piano. In 1857, #SteinwayAndSons started making a line of #ArtCasePianos that were designed by a variety of artists. In 1903, they gifted their 100,000th #grandpiano, designed by Dewing, to the White House. It is covered in #goldleaf 🍁, has the coats of arms of the 13 original states and was played by some of the greatest pianists during the time. Teddy Roosevelt had it placed in the East Room of the #WhiteHouse where it sat for many years, but can now be viewed in the #Smithsonian #AmericanArtMuseum in DC. What other #pianos with painted lids have you seen? 🎹🖼️❤️ . . . #NationalPhotographyMonth #memories #prequarantinelife #SAAM #piano #museum #InstaArt #museumlife #atsaam #fbf #nycpianos #TLPicks #DC #washingtonDC #whitehousepiano #mydcCool @visitwashingtondc #thisisDC #flashbackfriday.
