Mozart’s New Found Portrait

Just wanted to point you to a new finding — a portrait of Mozart that’s been hiding for a good while — gettin’ old… of Mozart, in fact, getting old — it was painted in 1790, a year before his death.

Johann Georg Edlinger painted it, and it’s in the Gemaeldegalerie in Berlin. A fellow, Wolfgang Seiller, a Mozart expert did some serious computer analysis and found it to be genuine.

Mr. Mozart would have been 249 in January.
