About the piece

Painted in 1840 by Josef Danhauser, this dramatic work depicts the legendary composer Franz Liszt at the piano. Surrounded by a circle of notable contemporaries including George Sand and Victor Hugo, the scene is charged with Romantic-era intensity, overlooked by a stoic bust of Beethoven positioned on the piano.
