A reproduction of a painted likeness of Ludwig van Beethoven, the German composer who lived from 1770 to 1827, this print dates to about 1945, though the record does not name the artist of the original work. Beethoven was portrayed many times during his lifetime, and his intense, unkempt features came to stand for the Romantic ideal of the tormented genius, a figure whose music bridged the Classical era and the nineteenth century. Reproductions like this one circulated widely in music books, classrooms and concert programs, so the image often reached people far from the original canvas.
