From 1692 to 1704, Bellucci lived and worked in Vienna and its environs, where his commissions included painting altarpieces for the abbey church of Klosterneuburg. He began working for Prince Johann Adam Andreas before 1697. Like the other allegories of Astrology, Sculpture and Painting the “Allegory of Music” also once embellished the ceremonial hall of the Liechtenstein City Palace on Bankgasse. All classes of instruments are depicted in the painting: keyboard instruments, strings and woodwind, as well as singing in the form of the female figure giving voice at the centre of the picture.
