EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithographic portrait of Frédéric Chopin, created by the Austrian artist Josef Kriehuber around 1840, offers a glimpse into the enigmatic personality of the Polish composer and pianist. Chopin, known for his virtuosic piano compositions that revolutionized Romantic music, is depicted here in the prime of his career. The artist masterfully captures Chopin's intense gaze, which seems to penetrate deep into the soul, reflecting the depth and complexity of his music. The portrait was created during Chopin's second visit to Austria, where he spent several years between 1831 and 1835. It is believed that Kriehuber, a renowned Austrian graphic artist, met Chopin during this time and was inspired by his magnetic presence. The lithographic technique, which involves drawing on a limestone plate with a greasy crayon or ink, allowed Kriehuber to achieve a high level of detail and tonal range, resulting in a stunningly realistic and evocative image. Despite the passage of time, this portrait of Chopin continues to captivate audiences with its intriguing depiction of the composer's enigmatic personality and artistic genius. The image has been preserved in a private collection, a testament to its enduring significance in the annals of musical and artistic history.
