About the piece
Franz von Lenbach was renowned for his psychological portraits of 19th-century giants, and this 1878 study of Richard Wagner is no exception. The composition uses intense chiaroscuro to highlight the composer's characteristic features, creating a sense of gravitas and intellectual intensity perfect for a classic interior.
