Today, we’ll talk about his history. From his prodigy-level status as a child “star” with his stage dad Leopold, his travels all over Europe, to his most amazing compositions and cheeky personality. Then at the end, we’ll talk about his real appearance and unveil our re-creation of the real face of Mozart.

24:50 What did Mozart Look Like?
27:30 Re-creations Revealed
The true appearance of Mozart is surprisingly contentious - He’s even been described as the most famous person whose true likeness is the least recognized. All of his portraits look a little different. His family members - as well as historians - have commented on this. His sister Nannerl said that she had “never seen so many portraits of my brother that are so different when seen side by side, but that nevertheless all look like him.”
Mozart scholar Arthur Schurig said, “Mozart has been the subject of more portraits that have no connection with his actual appearance than any other famous man.”
Alfred Einstein, a Mozart specialist said: “We have nothing to give us an idea of Mozart's physical appearance, except for a few mediocre canvases that don’t even resemble each other.”
So what then, is his true appearance?
Let’s start with some portraits that were created during his lifetime -
This Della Croce portrait of the Mozart family was made from life around 1780, and gives us a good look at the young Wolfgang.
He’s also seen here in the Bologna portrait (not that it’s a 1777 copy of a lost 1770 original). He’s shockingly only 14 in this image. His father said his son was ill the day this portrait was painting, and that it wasn’t even a good work of art - but also added that it looks “very much like him”.
Another is this unfinished image, made by his brother-in-law, which Mozart’s wife said was the most accurate image, but somehow looks the most different from the others.
We know some details from the people he lived and worked with. A colleague Michael Kelly said that Mozar was very thin and pale (he was only about 5’ tall), with abundant dark blond hair. He was very fond of billiards (and always won). Drank punch (with little moderation), and was a kind-hearted man with a good sense of humor.
We also know he had large blue eyes, a strong nose, and a head considered too big for his body.
He was considered a sickly child, he’d had smallpox in his youth which marked his face, and suffered from poor dental health and toothaches. His poor health, I suspect, is a reason he always looks much older than his years in some of these portraits.
His friends agreed that Mozart knew he wasn’t a man who was exceptionally attractive, so he made up for it by wearing luxurious clothing, and always caring meticulously about his appearance.
One small indicator of possible self-consciousness is that we don’t see his left ear in any paintings. You see, he had a defect of the left ear (we now refer to this as “mozart’s ear”) that changed the shape quite drastically. He even made this watercolor image of it himself.
I’m going to use the best quality image we have of Mozart to bring him to life - this 1819 version by Barbara Krafft. While it was not made from life, Krafft actually worked closely with Mozart’s sister on this version to create a kind of “definitive likeness”. Kind of like what I try to do these days. She used 3 faithful works as models for this image. Krafft and Nannerl agreed that Mozart hadn’t been painted by the most talented artists of his time, and they wanted to have a good portrait of him.

Imo, he was the most emotional composer ever. I know that is not what he is known for, but his music always MAKES you feel. I can’t imagine walking around with those glorious sounds constantly in your mind. Although many other musicians have written wonderful pieces of music, for me, he will always be the best. Wouldn’t he have loved to have known that many people consider him the greatest musician ever.

[@TampaDave]

@@lynnfisher3037Yes, but only Wolfgang so often made me feel he was channeling some magically glorious angelic dimension where this absolutely perfect music already exists. It was practically effortless, except for the physical quill and paper work.

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

@@TampaDave you are exactly right. I went through a period where I couldn’t listen to his music because it would hurt too much, the emotion was too deep. Thankfully it didn’t last long, that teenage period where all emotions are incredibly intense and overwhelming. His music is so beautiful, ( actually there’s no word to describe it)

[@JS-dz3nl]

Beethoven and Chopin had more emotional music than Mozart. As a professional pianist, I'd say Mozart's music is more playful than most other composers. His piano pieces feel more like Études than inspirational pieces. His best works were in his Operas in my opinion. That's also what he enjoyed doing the most, and it definitely shows. As his piano pieces are sometimes lackluster. Chopin also created far more complicated music at age 6 and 7. Chopin was also known as a music prodigy. When it comes to piano music, I prefer Beethoven and Chopin over Mozart.

[@AmandaGreenman]

Your re-creation is oddly like seeing an old friend. I'm a violist and he has always been my fave composer, mainly because he's one of the few that doesn't leave the violas out and still gives us some melodies and fun parts in pieces (we're often just used as a "background instrument" by most composers). I have always felt like after playing his music I can tell that he was a fun loving and nice guy. It's a shame he passed away so young. Thank you for this!

[@captmack007]

I'm a violist too! Mozart played the violist, so so did Hayden and Bach. Bach 'cello' suites are really with the viola in mind, so said Bach . I like Tchaikovsky for he gave us so many good parts too!

I used to be a violist, but I overcame it 🤣

[@justinnoble6506]

[@annaavgerinos189]

There’s a book called Mozarts women and it’s about him relationship with his sister and his wife Constance did very well for her shelf after remarrying and publishing Mozarts works We ow a lot to her for preserving his manuscripts and lovingly organizing them Yes she became very wealthy on account of all that but she had great knowledge of the worth of his music and took very good care of it . The movie Amadeus didn’t paint a good picture of her but after I read the book i realized how important she was in his life and how humanity benefited from her love for him and his masterpieces

The list of brilliant and talented women throughout history would be so long as to require hundreds of volumes. This sexual descrimation only began to change in the late 1800's and still exists strongly in many countries today. Very sad.

[@TampaDave]

The movie deserved the large number of awards it achieved. Acting, costumes, music (Mariner!) everything as perfectly woven together as a Mozart sonata. At the time the stage-play was originally designed, the story - that Salieri had killed Mozart - was accepted history. That story was officially debunked only after diaries were discovered in the 1950's proving Salieri was not the mysterious customer relentlessly pushing him to finish the work fast. Still, the myth was more compelling than the truth, and provided the entire plot line.

I honestly didn't know much about Mozart beyond his music, so I was surprised by how eventful his life but saddened by how short it was. When I saw the version of him in modern times, I started tearing up. One other time I've cried to your videos, the one about Vincent van Gogh, when the modern version was shown. As a fellow creative, for some reason seeing them in modern day clothing, smiling especially, hits me really hard. For some reason, it makes them even more relatable. Thank you so much for making these videos.

Bach and Mozart are my two favorites. Their music and especially their religious works reached levels that go beyond the spiritual realm.

[@justinnoble6506]

Yes Bach and Mozart are my favorites too. Bach was the giant on which Mozart stood. What blows me away about Mozart is that he learned counterpoint from Handel’s scores lent to him by his patron, Von Swieten. Then he wrote Jupiter which is a masterpiece, incorporating classical and baroque styles. Pure genius.

Last summer, my husband and I went to Austria with our infant daughter for a delayed family trip. We spent a few days in Salzburg and was of our favorite stops on the trip. We went to Mozart's childhood home, which is now a museum. It was so cool! Crowded but still fun.

[@nutrianirvana6823]

How beautiful! You captured his essence through his tender, sensitive eyes. When he smiled, I wanted to cry. He was described as "a remarkably small man". Mozart's letters are a revelation and give insight into his character, as well as his interactions with his family and others. Some are irreverant and scatological, some are heartbreakingly sensitive; all are fascinating. Riveting reading to be sure! I love Mozart with a depth of feeling I've never completely understood. Suffice to say I know him well. When I went to Salzburg and Vienna, I spent hours on the Getreidegasse visiting his birth house, and in Vienna, lingering inside of St Stephen's Cathedral, as well as Mozart's "Figaro House" residence. These were amazing, life-changing experiences for me. I'm a lifelong Mozart enthusiast and historian. I'm also a musician (violin and piano) and I've immersed myself in the majority of his compositions. His mastery of counterpoint is mind-boggling, as are his fugues. The fugue finale of the "Jupiter" makes me want to dance! Among my other favourites is the Adagio and Fugue in Cmin (K 546), which is breathtakingly intense, to say the least. I listen to, or play, his music daily. There is nothing better. Thank you for giving Nannerl her due, for she was (almost)as brilliant as Wolfgang. If you'd like a treat, take a listen to Leopold's compositions! Beautiful stuff. Wolfgang's second surviving son, Franz Xaver's, compositions are impressive as well. Thank you for this gorgeous mini-bio of our precious Woferl. 🥰🥰🎶🎶🎼🎼🎹

This was a very well done and detailed look into Mozart’s life. Very sad to see his life cut short, but it was, at least, well lived. I’d be curious to know if anyone in particular was suspected of the poisoning, if that’s what it was. I had to google what happened to Nannerl. She lived to the ripe old age of 78. I was also curious if Mozart and Constanze had children. Six, one right after the other. It was interesting to see that, even though Mozart was a child prodigy and led a unique life, he was also relatable in many ways. Typical teen, butting heads with dad, often complaining of boredom, marrying Contanze regardless of family opposition from both sides. Loved this recreation.

What I love about this video is that you really created a portrait of him-not just a visual portrait, but through your writing as well. Biographies like these on KZbin have a tendency to either be copy-pastes from encyclopedia articles, or full of clickbait-y superlatives: “YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT A GENIUS MOZART WAS!” I felt like I just got a glimpse into the man behind the musical genius. A man who, despite his inhuman talent, struggled and suffered in the face of stuffy aristocracy and the expectations of those who didn’t understand just how special his music was. You wrote about him with nuance and sympathy. Your visual portrait of him was beautifully rendered. He looks like someone who, despite being occasionally burdened with sadness and hardship, relishes the beauty of life and seeks to recreate it through his music.

A most excellent production. Your historical background culminating in the rendition of this compelling image is inspiring and brings him back to life. Thank you so much.

My favorite video to date! I LOVE Mozart! When the movie Amadeus came out years ago is when I first heard his music thru the movie and fell in love with the talented, amusing gifted Mozart. Thanks for the video. Love your videos and recreations. :)

[@KalexXa]

I love your channel! You did an amazing job portraying him and telling his story.

[@Cherlann]

This actually brought me to tears. Great job!

[@matthewcordova]

Thank you for putting together this video--it was so enjoyable! All the work you put into it is well appreciated. :)

[@user-us1ft3go3m]

This was really quite lovely. And your portrait of him as he might have looked today was surprisingly moving

[@magnificalux]

Thank you RNS for always bringing incredible history figures to life! I love the detailed work all of you guys put into for each historical figure! I've always wondered how geniuses and prodigys get birthed! Loved Mozart's facial re-creations at the end, especially the modern facial re-creations! Love that you've added an earring too! 😄

[@lapetitemorte415]

These always bring tears to my eyes. ❤

I love Mozart's work! Thank you for doing this video❤

[@e.goldie6143]

That's a beautiful recreation of Mozart! You made him come to life again....and what a joy to see the greatest composer in history come back to life and smile!

[@talkdtwo]

Always a joy. Your history lesson is not only informative but keeps my interest. I love the unique details that you bring into each episode. I know it must take hours beyond imagination in research. And the artwork at the end is the pièce de résistance, the capstone of each excellent video. Thank you!

[@cassandrawright3855]

Love it! The modern recreation is wonderful, one of my favorites of yours (my absolute fave modern recreation is the chevalier)

[@Aurieljo]

Very interesting video!! Thank you for sharing this. Towards the end I was in tears with smile❤

[@ramyafennell4615]

The end was soooo lovely, stunning, his eyes made him handsome. Thank you so much

[@Linda98671]

I love him smiling, because I bet he did! Thank you for this wonderful video on such a brilliant man.

[@octaviusmanago8640]

So good almost reaching perfection. Thank you very much Ms. Royalty Now.

[@reedrancho]

Well done to you and Andre. Another triumph of art, history, and technology’s ability to enhance the whole.

[@ChristianCareerJoy]

Amazing! Thank you for this video. So amazingly researched and beautiful recreation!

[@PatrickBijvoet]

This is truly one of the best short documentaries about Mozart I have ever seen. My compliments.

[@vivianvo7014]

Thank you for your wonderful work of Mozart History plus providing us the beautiful image of himself!!!

[@Akkordeondirigent]

I love how thoroughly you investigate and come to your conclusions.

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you so much :)

[@Akkordeondirigent]

@@RoyaltyNowStudios I'm a teacher for different subjects in public school in Germany, one being history: I always use images of yours to introduce historical persons because they always are showing that persons more realistically than paintings or statues (wich I love both). Thank you for your work!

[@jessicanippes1730]

Your videos always touch my heart ❤ I learn so much and I can feel the love you put in all your videos. Thanks you so very much ! I have been to Salzburg twice, and twice to the Mozart Houses, it is worth the trip, Salzburg is beautiful ❤

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

I have been lucky enough to visit Salzburg once and it is GORGEOUS. It's hard to imagine Mozart hating it so much :) Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@ThereforeStand]

Definitely your best, great job. You are growing leaps, and bounds in your chosen career.

[@popcult]

Fascinating story telling. You always manage to look at fabled people from many interesting angles.
