Description For Liszt's 200th birthday I wanted to do a scene from "key" birthdays from his life. Sadly, life got in the way of a lot of things, but I finished 2 already so I'll post them and keep updating.

October 22 1828, Liszt had fallen into a great depression, he lost his father and was forbidden from seeing, let alone marrying! the girl he loved because he was but a pianist. He stopped going out, started drinking, wearing black and smoking, stop writing music and burried himself in books and religion. In Paris people believed he had died and in fact the day after his birthday an article was published "The Death of the Young Liszt".

Mmm... That's because I'm a sort of Goethe's fangirl... but poor Franz, anyway

You've improved a lot since I last saw your work! Your sense in colors has only gotten stronger and more atmospheric C: The sense of gloominess is set very effectively with the use of props and expression.
It's interesting how you can see the glimpse of sunlight through the curtains, it adds to the feeling of isolation from things that could cheer a person up You definitely wouldn't have gotten that feeling if it were raining outside.

Well done!
