Morning Prayers in the Family of Sebastian Bach

Description:

Photogravure - Original vintage antique print.
German composer J.S. Bach traveled throughout Europe during the 18^th century, working as an organist and composer in service to both churches and royalty. Though Bach wrote a number of masterful works during his travels, he did not receive full recognition from his contemporaries for his compositional ideas. Instead he gained his reputation principally through his musicianship as an organist. Since the mid-19^th century, however, Bach's works have been celebrated for their remarkable use of counterpoint, a technique in which two or more melodies are simultaneously combined.

About the artist:
Born in San Francisco, Toby E. Rosenthal has so long lived in Munich as to be identified with German painters. He was sent to Munich as a boy, where he studied at the Royal Academy under Piloty. A number of his pictures have met with popular success, notably his "lSlaine," which was exhibited in many cities. His work always shows careful drawing and pleasing colour and a happy choice of subject.
