Escuela Barroco Europea (XIX) - Retrato de Bach

Title: Portrait of Bach

School: European Baroque School, 19th century

Style: Late Baroque of historicist character

Technique: Oil on panel

Circle and artistic influence: Work by an anonymous author, follower of the Central European Baroque portraiture tradition and of the musical iconography developed in the German-speaking realm during the 18th century. The composition shows the influence of court portraiture and of historical representations of great composers.

Half-length portrait attributed iconographically to Johann Sebastian Bach. The subject is depicted facing forward, with a solemn expression and direct gaze towards the viewer. He wears a voluminous white wig with marked curls, a light shirt with decorative details, and dark clothing that merges partially with the background.

Lighting concentrates on the face, highlighting features and creating an intense contrast with the dark background. The sobriety of color and the restrained treatment of the figure reinforce the ceremonial and intellectual character of the portrait.

The work is presented in a rectangular gilded wooden frame, with a sober design and stepped inner molding. The frame shows patina, wear, and small losses typical of its age.

Conservation status: It shows restorations, signs of aging, surface wear, and small irregularities compatible with its period.

Notes:

Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge due to causes such as being outside a continental territory, excess dimensions or weight of the item. In no case will PremiArt be responsible for this surcharge.

The courier that must pass through the Swiss border may be delayed much more than normal, so, if possible to speed up the process, we will provide the customs number that is delaying the shipment so that the customer can release it and thus reach its destination. Experience has shown us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.

The work may incur damage during transport even if properly packaged. In that case, we will require photos of the damages to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
