EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts the renowned German pianist and composer, August Alexander Klengel (1783-1852), in the prime of his artistic career around 1820. The image was created as a lithograph after a painting by the skilled German artist, Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein (1788-1868). August Alexander Klengel was a versatile musician who excelled in both piano performance and composition. He was born in Leipzig, Germany, and studied under the tutelage of Johann Christian Friedrich Höldke and Carl Friedrich Zelter. Klengel's musical prowess was evident from an early age, and he quickly gained recognition for his virtuosic performances and innovative compositions. In this portrait, Klengel is depicted in a formal attire, with an introspective expression on his face, suggesting deep concentration and focus. His piercing gaze and expressive hands, poised above the piano keys, convey a sense of artistic intensity and dedication. The elegant, neoclassical setting further emphasizes Klengel's refined sensibilities and commitment to the arts. Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein was a prominent figure in the German art scene, known for his portraits and landscapes. His skillful rendering of Klengel's likeness and attention to detail make this portrait a remarkable representation of the composer in his artistic heyday. The lithographic technique used by Vogelstein allowed for a high degree of detail and tonal range, resulting in an exquisite and enduring image of August Alexander Klengel.
