🎨 Who was Barbara Krafft?

Barbara Krafft, born Barbara Steiner in 1764 in Iglau, Moravia, is one of the few Austrian women painters to have distinguished herself in an artistic world still largely dominated by men. Daughter of the painter Johann Nepomuk Steiner, she was immersed early in the world of arts, where she refined a sensitive, precise, and profoundly human style.

Her most famous work, the portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart painted in 1819 for an official commission from the Mozart Museum in Salzburg, remains to this day the most widely circulated posthumous image of the composer. This famous posthumous portrait, created twenty-eight years after Mozart's death, accurately conveys his melancholic genius. It embodies the Austrian historical portrait par excellence, where neoclassical rigor and contained emotion unite.

In the context of 19th-century painting, Krafft developed a sober art, faithful to the Viennese academic heritage, yet deeply personal. Her paintings blend both Empire period portraits, bourgeois scenes, and commemorative works. She finely illustrates the features of her contemporaries, fully participating in the evolution of 19th-century women's art, which is still too often forgotten.

Through her journey, Barbara Krafft joins the select circle of famous women artists who have marked the history of art despite obstacles. At Alpha Reproduction, we celebrate her legacy with reproductions that respect the soul and gesture of the original.
