Product Description
Warm and cool registers, like a symphony moving between movements. Neoclassical Pop Art's split-face Pop tribute is a new image of the composer. Red and blue split the face, and the print suits a hallway that needs drama.
“Beethoven, The Solemn Mass Portrait” in red and blue is Neoclassical Pop Art's split-register print, a new Pop take on the oil painting “A Portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven” that Joseph Karl Stieler completed in 1820, now kept at the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn.
Ludwig van Beethoven was a revolutionary German composer and pianist and one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire.
Commissioned by Beethoven's friends, Franz and Antonie Brentano, the painting shows Beethoven seven years before his death, at the age of 49.
Holding a pencil in his hand the painting portrays Beethoven working on the notes to his "Missa Solemnis."
According to the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft Bicentennial Edition of "Ludwig Van Beethoven," the composer gave the painter several sittings keeping motionless the head posture, claimed was hard to model.
