Accepted Beethoven Beloved Braunschweig Cousin Headbands Immortal Letter Therese Wrote
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Therese von Braunschweig, a woman whose identity has long been shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Born in Vienna in 1792, Therese was the cousin of the Guiccardi family, who were close friends of Ludwig van Beethoven. The relationship between Beethoven and Therese has been the subject of much speculation and debate among scholars for over two centuries. It is widely accepted that Therese was the 'Immortal Beloved' to whom Beethoven wrote his famous and deeply emotional letter in 1812. The letter, discovered in 1940, expresses Beethoven's deepest feelings and longing for his beloved, whom he addresses as 'my angel, my all, my very self.' The identity of the Immortal Beloved has never been definitively proven, but Therese remains a strong contender due to her close connection to Beethoven and the Guiccardi family. Therese's appearance in this portrait, with her striking features, delicate headbands, and expressive eyes, only adds to the allure and fascination surrounding her. The historical significance of this image extends beyond the realm of music history, offering a glimpse into the personal lives of two of the most influential figures of the Romantic era. This portrait, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring power of art and history to captivate and inspire us, inviting us to explore the stories and mysteries of the past.
