fav concept: beethoven in nature. he valued natural beauty and its rawness. he went walking all alone, for hours, and never got tired of explorin further. hes the cutest hes my baby oh heshhsudksodk
are you aware of the Eduard Klosson and Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld sketches of Beethoven? 🫣
haiiii!!! thank u for the askk uggh 👄🫦portrayals 🫦🫦 The one from Klosson I haven't seen before! White people hitting the blunt:
So surreal to sit across Beethoven in such a comfortable environment. It would be like capturing a Baby Bear in his natural habitat on National Geographic. I understand it is 1823, but did he look that skinny? Or maybe he is mewing in this drawing . Either way, I think we can agree any artist probably adores drawing Beethoven's hair. It is simply always mesmerizing.
It reminds me of this other sketch I had saved in my phone. Fair to say, it isn't contemporary art , but I love how they kept the pipe and the coffee cups. This is the European Ideal they try to kill in us, people
(sorry Stieler, but the previous 2 sketches would go even harder on the euro banknotes)
The Schnorr vor Carolsfeld sketch I seen, but simply bcs I think I seen all of its dozens of versions😭 Each time It was different . Rare time where his hair seems kept and composed somehow. I dare say I adore this sketch too. The sideburns had to go tho✈️ ✈️
now this is the perfect time to open a conversation!
N O S E
i want everyone sat . i think its a very underrated talk and we must have it. he has such a cute nose. cutest nose and such a very ... perfect arch to it?? I understand so many contemporaries described it as flat and rather too wide for his face, but I somehow cannot agree.?? do I have Body Dysmporhia for him or what. ? Imo, it is objectively "perfect" for his face. It fits his face shape, it is symmetrical and absolutely so adorably molded. This is the type of Nose they show at the Turkish rhynoplasties clinics🤣🤣 like yeah im supposed to Believe it isn't one of his best features. Looks good from absolutely all angles.
I am so fond of that sillhoute at 15-16(Joseph Neseen) because it is one of the earliest portrayals and you can tell he is still very young, despite the pretentious attire. Just a small boy who already was working so much.
I am so fond of any side profile portrayals. I am fond of him, period..

10 reasons Beethoven is spiritually a brown bear (cub). Another thing nobody asked for
Hello. I love Beethoven and it didnt escape my mind that Cherubini called Beethoven an "unlicked bear cub." The original meaning has no correlation to an actual bear cub, but i will show that somehow beethoven connects with this beautiful animal in lots of ways.
1. Bear litters mostly consist of 2-3 bear cubs.
Beethoven's mother carried many pregnancies, but in the end, only 3 of the boys survived through adulthood. Ludwig is literally the first baby who will have to be the bigger figure to them constantly.
2- They have dark expressive small eyes
As Rossini himself said it: "while from under heavy eyebrows his eyes shone as from out of caverns and, though small, seemed to pierce one.” From all of his portraits, we can tell Beethoven's eyes are overly expressive.
3- Forehead
Noted as sometimes his most handsomest feature, he had a broad forehead. Schindler himself called him Jupiter's head. Bear cubs have bigger foreheads too, full of forests and mama thoughts.
5- Clingy towards Mama
Beethoven will consider his mom his greatest friend and will only have the highest words of praise towards her till the end of his life. Also the one who naturally cared and nurtured for him more. (compared to deadbeat nobody Likes). Bear cubs rely heavily on their mama as they grow up.
6- Bear cubs are adorably clumsy
Beethoven was famously clumsy and had little grace to his movements. Danced badly and always ended having little cuts on his face whenever he shaved. (according to Ries). As we know, bear cubs have many tumbling antics which make them very accurate to a Beethovenian representation.
7- They have a very diverse diet, and fish is one of their favourite main dishes!
Beethoven had a very distinctive diet and preference on what he consummed. From his coffee (60 beans) to soup (made by a good heart), eggs(sometimes 10!) and finally fish. Bears are omnivorse. And of course, while their preferences vary, they also eat lots of fats, berries, honey and fish!
8- When they're comfy, bear cubs make a loud like humming noise
Beethoven was said to have a very loud laugh by Stephan von Breuning's wife. When bear cubs are comfortable, they also have a very motor-like hum. I don't think many people checked that, but they definitely should. Its a very cute sound especially when you see these little animals.
9- Bears are capable of appreciating nature.
One of his biggest loves was nature. Beethoven was capable to walk through nature forever and not realise the movement of time, often even reaching different places he didn't know that well. Bears themselves have been noticed to have a sense of this appreciation towards nature, being able to sit still for long periods of time and simply admire.
10- Bears are mostly solitary
Beethoven, till the end of his life, will remain mostly alone and mistunderstood by many. He roams alone and and master simple surviving. So do Bears.
