Discover the rich artistic legacy of the Schmid family, spanning centuries and genres. From Julius Schmid's captivating depictions of Ludwig van Beethoven (1854-1935, Beethoven on a walk, ca. 1901, and Ludwig van Beethoven, 1934) to Franz Hanfstaengl's iconic image of Beethoven (1906), the Schmids have left an indelible mark on the world of art. Carl Friedrich Ludwig Schmid (1799-1885) also contributed significantly with his portrait of Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841). Meanwhile, Johann Schmid's work, such as Beethoven I(Schmid), showcases the family's dedication to capturing the essence of musical greats. The Schmid family's artistic influence extends beyond the realm of music, as seen in Conrad Schmid's depiction of a Swiss halberdier from the 16th century. The Schmids' diverse body of work, from the Schubertiade (1896) to their various portraits, continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
