About the workAngels’ serenades, in which music is played before Jesus Christ and his mother Mary, were among Theodor Mintrop's best-known motifs at the time. He often depicted Christian scenes, but was also interested in fairy tales and other fantastical themes. His career was rather unusual. Mintrop worked on the family farm until he was 30 years old. After an artist from Düsseldorf discovered his talent, he began to study painting. The Kunstpalast owns a large part of his graphic estate, including a drawing belonging to this work.
