"Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827, 19th century" is a portrait of the renowned German composer Ludwig van Beethoven painted by Joseph Karl Stieler in 1820. This iconic image is one of the most famous portraits of Beethoven and has come to symbolize the composer in the collective imagination. Stieler, a leading German portrait painter, was commissioned to create the artwork for the "Gallery of Famous People" at the behest of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, who was an ardent admirer of Beethoven's work.

The portrait depicts Beethoven in a three-quarter profile against a dark background, with his intense gaze directed towards the viewer. His hair is disheveled, which has often been interpreted as a reflection of his passionate and unbridled creative spirit. The composer is dressed in a black coat with a white shirt, and a red scarf is draped around his shoulders, adding a touch of color to the composition. The portrait is celebrated for capturing the depth of Beethoven's character and the complexity of his personality at a time when he was profoundly deaf and increasingly isolated from society.

Stieler's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his ability to render fine details, results in a lifelike representation that conveys the emotional intensity and intellectual depth of the composer. The portrait is not only a testament to Stieler's skill as an artist but also serves as a valuable historical document that provides insight into Beethoven's appearance and persona during the latter years of his life.

Today, the portrait is housed in the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn, Germany, and remains one of the most reproduced and recognized images of Beethoven, often used in media and publications related to the composer and his music. It stands as a significant cultural artifact from the 19th century, offering a window into the era's artistic and musical heritage.
