Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria on January 27th, 1756 and died in Vienna on December 5th, 1791. He was an extremely influential and talented composer who lived during the classical era. Mozart first showed promise at a young age, being an expert on both the keyboard and violin, and at the tender age of 5, he already composed and performed for royalty in Europe. During his career, he composed more than 600 works, choral, operatic, chamber, concertante, and symphonic music. Mozart is still extremely popular even now and has extraordinary influence on Western music.

What Mozart Really Looked Like
After his untimely death, the skull of Mozart was uncovered. His conserved head was the basis of the facial reconstruction done by Pierre-François. It is easy to identify Mozart owing to his eyes’ poor bone rim protection, which lends a feminine look. In addition, he had a rather short head and prominent cheekbones. This replica also brilliantly shows his white hairstyle and blue eyes.
