EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart engrossed in his work, specifically composing the overture for his renowned opera Don Giovanni. The image, taken in 1787 and reproduced in 1906, showcases Mozart's intense focus as he meticulously writes down musical notes by candlelight. The setting exudes a sense of domestic bliss, with a candelabra illuminating the room and casting a warm glow on Mozart's face. A table cluttered with sheet music and a stove nearby indicate that this is not just any ordinary workspace but rather an intimate corner of his home where creativity flourishes. Intriguingly, seated next to him is Constanze Maria Weber von Nissen, Mozart's wife. Her presence adds depth to the composition as she symbolizes both support and inspiration for her husband's artistic endeavors. This portrayal highlights the crucial role played by women behind great men throughout history. Mozart himself appears lost in thought; his furrowed brow reveals the intensity with which he approaches his craft. It is said that he composed this very overture overnight before its first performance at Prague's National Theatre on October 29th - a testament to his prodigious talent and ability to create masterpieces under pressure. This chromolithograph print from La Vie de Mozart offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment frozen in time - capturing not only one of classical music's greatest minds at work but also shedding light on the personal dynamics that shaped his genius.
