EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel portrait, dating back to 1733, showcases the enigmatic figure of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. Painted by an unknown German artist from the 18th century, this artwork is housed in the renowned Bach Haus in Eisenach, Germany. Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was not only the eldest son but also a devoted pupil of the legendary Johann Sebastian Bach. This exquisite pastel captures his essence as a musician, composer, organist, and improviser. The delicate strokes bring out his refined features and hint at his contribution to galant and rococo styles within classical music. The half-length composition allows us to focus on Wilhelm's expressive face and confident posture. His eyes seem to hold a wealth of musical knowledge while his hands rest gracefully on what could be imagined as a keyboard or sheet music. As we delve into this mesmerizing portrait, it becomes evident that Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was more than just another member of one of history's most influential musical families. He possessed an individuality that set him apart from his father's shadow—a unique talent that deserves recognition in its own right. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and a reminder of Wilhelm's significant contributions to classical music during the 18th century.
