Greetings to you all!
I have added two more pages to those that are already "on line" at The Face
Of Bach.
The first of these pages is the long overdue and long awaited revision of my
initial examination of the controversial but undoubtedly authentic image
known as the Meiningen Pastel, the closest thing we have to a "family
snapshot" of Johann Sebastian Bach. Here is a direct link to the page:
The Meiningen Pastel - Bach Through The Eyes Of His Relatives
The second of these pages is an examination of what is most likely the least
well known of the portraits of Johann Sebastian Bach, an image that was
discovered in Berlin during World War Two and that appears to have been a
casualty of the Allied bombings in early 1945. (Hope springs eternal, as the
saying goes!) This portrait, which almost certainly was commissioned by Count
von Keyserlingk, is another that is controversial but nonethelesss
undoubtedly authentic, and, under the circumstances, its admission to the
canon is bittersweet. Here is a direct link to the page:
The Portrait of Bach That Was Lost In World War Two - An Authentic
"Alternative" to the Haussmann Image of Johann Sebastian Bach in his early 60s
I also have obtained, fortuitously and serendipitously, some new and
previously unknown information on the provenance of the Group Portrait.
Those of you who may be interested will find this information in an Addendum
at the end of the second page of the discussion of the Group Portrait.
Here, for your convenience, is a direct link to that second page:
The Portrait That Does NOT Depict J. S Bach With Three Of His Sons (2)
Once again, I hope that this announcement finds each of you well and thriving
and enjoying the waning days of summer.
My thanks, as always, for your interest, and my best wishes, as always, to
each of you.
Teri
