1776 1822 Amadeus Composer Composing Glum Hoffmann Romantic Sideburns
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a thoughtful and introspective Etienne Theodore Alfred de Joux, better known by his pen name E.T.A. Hoffmann or Amadeus, during his composing years. Born on January 24, 1776, in Königsberg, Prussia, Hoffmann was a prolific German Romantic writer and composer, whose works continue to captivate audiences with their unique blend of fantasy, horror, and satire. In this side view, Hoffmann's long, expressive sideburns frame his serious, glum expression, as he focuses intently on the sheet music before him. The historical context of the image places it during Hoffmann's most productive years, between 1810 and 1822, when he wrote some of his most famous works, including "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," "The Sandman," and "The Devil's Elixir." Despite his success as a writer, Hoffmann's life was marked by personal tragedy and financial struggles. He suffered from mental health issues and was often plagued by debts. However, his passion for music and storytelling never wavered, and his enduring legacy continues to inspire artists and audiences alike. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing world of E.T.A. Hoffmann, a man whose contributions to literature and music continue to resonate with readers and listeners more than 200 years after his death on February 25, 1822.
