A young European prodigy immortalized in Italy by the brush of Giambettino Cignaroli

Created in 1770 during Mozart's visit to Verona, this portrait signed by Giambettino Cignaroli depicts the young composer aged only 13 years, at the dawn of his legend. Offered as a tribute by the city on the occasion of one of his first Italian concerts, this painting is a major historical work, both documentary, expressive, and touching, capturing the early elegance and radiant intelligence of the young Mozart.

A formal portrait of a rising genius

A noble child in the posture of an accomplished master

Mozart is depicted in three-quarters view, dressed in an elegant red coat with gold braid, typical of the aristocratic fashion of the second half of the 18th century. He holds a musical score in his left hand, resting on a partially visible keyboard, thus asserting his identity as a composer and performer from a young age.

His round face, still childlike cheeks, and focused yet calm gaze convey both youth and discipline, the seriousness of an artist already recognized by the courts of Europe. Giambettino Cignaroli, an Italian academic portraitist, manages to highlight the solemnity of the musical gesture, while maintaining a natural and sincere grace in the posture.

A symbolic work, offered by Verona to the young master

This portrait was made on the occasion of Mozart's triumphant visit to Verona in January 1770, where he gave an exceptional concert at the Teatro Filarmonico. Impressed, the city commissioned Cignaroli to create this painting as an official testimony of the young Austrian's early genius. The work is now preserved at the Musikverein in Vienna, after having long belonged to private collectors.
