EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, created in 1881, showcases the talented German composer Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel. The print is based on a portrait painted by her husband, Wilhelm Hensel. Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (1805-1847) was an influential figure in the world of classical music during the 19th century. In this image, Fanny exudes grace and elegance as she gazes into the distance with a thoughtful expression. Her delicate features are beautifully captured through intricate lines and shading techniques employed by the engraver. The artist skillfully brings out her inner strength and determination while maintaining a sense of femininity. As one of Germany's most accomplished female composers, Fanny defied societal expectations to pursue her passion for music. Despite facing numerous obstacles due to her gender, she composed over 460 works throughout her lifetime. Although overshadowed by her more famous brother Felix Mendelssohn during their time, Fanny's compositions have gained recognition posthumously for their depth and emotional richness. This wood engraving serves as a testament to both Fanny's musical talent and enduring legacy as a pioneering woman in classical music history. It captures not only her physical likeness but also hints at the profound emotions that fueled her creative spirit. This print from The Granger Collection is an exquisite tribute to an extraordinary composer who broke barriers and left an indelible mark on the world of music.
