EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883) in the twilight of his life, seated next to his wife Cosima (1837-1930) in their villa in Tribschen, Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1883. Wagner, dressed in a heavy coat and wearing a hat, appears thoughtful and introspective, his hand resting on the arm of his chair. Cosima, looking radiant and youthful, places her hand on his knee, offering him support and companionship. Born in Leipzig, Germany, Wagner is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of Western classical music. His innovative operas, which combined music, poetry, and drama, revolutionized the genre and continue to be performed and admired around the world. However, Wagner's life was not without controversy. He was known for his unconventional ideas, radical politics, and scandalous personal life, which included multiple marriages and numerous love affairs. Despite these challenges, Wagner's music and ideas continued to captivate audiences and inspire generations of composers and artists. In this photograph, taken just a few years before his death, we see a man who has left an indelible mark on musical history, surrounded by the love and support of his wife Cosima. The image is a poignant reminder of the human side of a musical genius and the enduring power of love and companionship.
