L Sichlong

L Sichlong is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This 19th-century German artist made a single preserved print of Johann Sebastian Bach in 1819, an etched portrait that became the era’s go-to image for posterity. The print shows Bach in profile, wig slightly tousled, eyes fixed on the distance, details that made it the standard reference for decades. If you’ve ever seen a Bach portrait in a museum or on a CD cover, it traces back to this small sheet of paper. Tap “Johann Sebastian Bach” to see the print up close.
