Line 37:
What do you mean by "was about Mozart"? The previous picture showed an imagined romantic view of Mozart. The painter never saw Mozart. Perhaps we can agree that most readers of an encyclopedia would like to see authentic portraits, not fabricated ones. [[User:213.164.193.161|213.164.193.161]] 20:41, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:If the Edlinger painting is of him, gentlemen, I believe that he looks more distinguished in it than in the Bolognese portrait. --[[User:Anglius|Anglius]] 04:11, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:If I recall correctly, the famous portrait of Mozart painted some years after his death was done with Nannerl's consultation; it is also said that the painter supposedly modeled the portrait off of Nannerl's face, because it was often remarked that Wolfgang and she looked very much alike.
:Getting off the subject of the famous posthumous effort for a second, has anyone perchance ever suggested using the [http://www.mozartforum.com/images/Death_Mask.jpg death mask] as a portrait? Surely a cast of the man's face would do his likeness greater justice than any artist's spatial estimations. The only problem is that there appear to be some doubts about the authenticity of the mask as well. If anyone has any further information on the likelihood of the mask being genuine, please do tell us about what you know. [[User:Batman Jr.|Batman Jr.]] 23:13, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
