December 5th marks the 219 anniversary
of Mozart's death
(1791)
(1791)
This painting was inspired by Mozart's life in Prague,1787.
He used to rent the rooms on the building on the right side of the street.On the left side of the street,Mozart's Opera libretist and friend was also living there at the time, they used to comunicate with each other thru the balcony, and windows of these buildings. I imagined all this going on when I was working on this painting.
If you are lucky enough to go to Prague, this street is still there, and the buildings as well,of course painted in diferent colours.

Mozart's music is being performed,recorded, and listened to at this time than ever before...
the explanation must be simple:
An universal response to beauty
To me, Mozart represents the pinnacle of human creative achievement.

Thank you deer EriKa for the Mozart reminders and lessons and the beautiful inspiration behind your work. I love to hear these stories. It always amazes me to see places where such life and work happened...to be at a street corner and see where he lived and visited and interacted on a daily basis..fascinating indeed!
Hi Erika,
This painting of the street in Prague is wonderful.
Loved the thought of Mozart communicating through the open windows.
Have never been to Prague but one day hope to. Yes, Mozart's music is still so popular today and I enjoy his outstanding and expressive work.
Wishing you a joyous holiday
Hugs

Its beautiful...a bit different, less 'organic' (more linear) than most of the other pieces you've posted I think.
I am hoping to visit Prague in the future. Your painting is intriguing. Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting. May you enjoy this beautiful season with all of its magic and wonder. Happy Holly Jolly Joy...
