palousian Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Here's their actual Beethoven. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265124212325 I think our guy here is Berlioz. I respectfully disagree with VdA's respectful disagreement--that hair is too fluffy and flowing for Liszt. Maybe Mendelssohn, but we lack the necessary mutton chops for Felix's look. Could be Chopin. For your perusal, here's a somewhat-older Hector Berlioz--definitely the right hair. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if anyone looked on the bottom? Meanwhile, I respectfully disagree with all the respectful disagreement. The nose is too straight for Chopin, and he’s too debonair and slight for Liszt. Also, Liszt always had a kind of angry look, intended to appear studious, possibly, but failing. Berlioz was famous for his wild-and red- hair so I doubt that. And he doesn’t have glasses so Schubert’s out. Gotta be Mendelssohn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's another plausible candidate, but Berlioz, while a thoroughly competent composer, is a looong ways from being Beethoven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
