1797 1828 Franz Friends Gatherings Josef Performed Schubert Charade Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a moment from the legendary gatherings of Franz Schubert and his close-knit circle of friends in late 19th century Vienna. The scene is set in a cozy, candlelit room, where the friends are deeply engrossed in a lively charade game. Schubert, the renowned composer, is seen in the center, his brow furrowed in thought as he tries to guess the hidden identity of his friend. To his right, the pianist Johann Baptist Schober is lost in laughter, no doubt relishing the amusement of the game. Next to him, the poet Franz Grillparzer leans forward, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he whispers the next clue to his companions. On the far right, Josef Spaun, a wealthy patron of the arts, watches the proceedings with a smile, his hand resting on the shoulder of his friend, the painter Moritz von Schwind. The camaraderie and joyous spirit of this intellectual and artistic clique are palpable, as they revel in the simple pleasure of each other's company. This print, dated between 1797 and 1828, offers a rare glimpse into the private world of Schubert and his friends, a world of creativity, wit, and shared passions. The charade game, a popular pastime of the time, serves as a fitting metaphor for the intellectual and artistic exchange that took place among these friends, as they sought to unravel the mysteries of the world around them through their various artistic pursuits.
