EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print captures a whimsical caricature of Felix Mendelssohn, the renowned German composer. Created in the late 19th century by Aubrey Beardsley, this artwork showcases Mendelssohn seated in an elegant armchair, surrounded by musical instruments and composing tools. Mendelssohn's sideburns are exaggerated, adding a touch of humor to his serious expression as he writes with a goose quill pen. His tie is neatly tied, reflecting his refined taste and attention to detail. The artist skillfully portrays Mendelssohn's passion for music through his focused posture and the presence of pianos and organs in the background. The engraving technique used brings out intricate details on both furniture and furnishings surrounding him. This print offers us a glimpse into the private world of this talented musician, capturing not only his physical appearance but also hinting at his creative process. Displayed within an interior setting, this image evokes a sense of nostalgia for classical music enthusiasts. It serves as a reminder of Mendelssohn's significant contributions to the world of composition during his short life span. Preserved in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this artwork continues to inspire admiration for one of history's most celebrated composers.
