This is a reproduction of “Portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven while composing the Missa Solemnis” of 1820 by Joseph Karl Stieler.

It became his best known portrait even though he was very prolific and painted many portraits, mainly from his base in Munich. His portraits are known for the total focus on the sitter with a minimum of distractions from the subject of the painting. Beethoven himself was fifty years old when this portrait was completed. Stieler died in 1858 and Beethoven in 1827. The painting is 120 cm wide and 142.2 cm high and is in the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn, Germany.
