EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Johanna Rosina Wagner (1774-1848), the mother of the renowned German composer, Richard Wagner (1813-1883). The image, taken around the time of her marriage to Ludwig Geyer in 1813, reveals a woman of deep introspection and quiet strength. Following the death of her first husband, Friedrich Wagner, Johanna found solace and support in Ludwig, who later became Richard's stepfather. The union between Johanna and Ludwig proved to be a nurturing environment for the young composer, who was deeply influenced by his mother's artistic sensibilities and his stepfather's musical expertise. The portrait showcases Johanna's elegant and refined appearance, with her delicate features, expressive eyes, and intricately styled hair. Her attire, consisting of a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, is indicative of the fashionable dress of the early 19th century. The subtle use of color and lighting in the print further enhances the sense of tranquility and grace that emanates from Johanna's presence. This poignant image serves as a testament to the profound impact that Johanna Rosina Wagner had on her son's life and the world of music. Her unwavering support and nurturing influence played a crucial role in shaping Richard Wagner into one of the most influential composers of the Romantic era.
