A true icon of European cultural history, this depiction of Bach is the most well-known and widely distributed around the world. It shows the composer in a solemn posture, dressed in a period black coat, holding a figured music score — the Canon triplex à 6 voix, a testament to his intellectual and musical virtuosity.

A painting for posterity

Originally commissioned by the Société musicale Mizler in Leipzig, this portrait had a dual purpose: to pay tribute to Bach's genius and to immortalize his image for future generations. The work is distinguished by its sobriety, realism, and the expressive power of the gaze. It is now preserved at the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin and remains an essential reference in the world of classical music.
