Ludwig van BEETHOVEN

17 December 1770 - 26 March 1827 (age 56)

portrait of Beethoven

The above image is a portrait of Beethoven from my series '52 Composers'. I made it using a combination of traditional and digital techniques.
The background lists some of his best known works.
I have made this portrait available in various formats and also on some gift items which will make unusual presents for music lovers.

You can buy a high quality print of this image at IMAGEKIND

Temperament

Grumpy old man. Irritable, manic depressive, disdainful of authority and social rank. Short and stocky with a paunch, dishevelled. Red face, small piercing eyes, bushy eyebrows.
