Sehnsucht Nach Dem Frülinge II

Sehnsucht Nach Dem Frülinge II (2001)

Oil on canvas, 80x80cm

The figure is La Musique, a sculpture in the Louvre (which I neglected to note down the name of the artist when I photographed it). I used the Atget photograph from the Paris Symphony painting again, under which is a specimen of Mozart's handwriting (his signature is on the small piece of crumpled paper in the top right), and a title page of the Marriage of Figaro in both Italian and German. In the lower right is a picture of an elaborate Rococo organ.
