More about this artwork

Title of Painting: Der Musiklehrer (The Music Teacher)Artist: Ernst Stern Year: 1912"Der Musiklehrer," a unique work from 1912 by Ernst Stern, showcases a whimsical and character-rich portrayal. This painting provides a lively depiction of a music teacher caught in a moment of instruction or performance. Dressed in a traditional and elaborate outfit indicative of the early 20th century, the teacher is adorned in a long, flowing coat accentuated with ruffles and a layered scarf, topped by a fashionable hat adorned with a bow.The figure's pose is animated and expressive, holding a sheet of music in one hand, while the other hand gestures emphatically, perhaps keeping time or emphasizing a musical point. Stern's use of vibrant, yet selective colors contributes to the focal clarity of the teacher, drawing the viewer's attention directly to the character's dynamic expression and the detailed costume.Ernst Stern’s illustration is not only a representation of a profession but also a snapshot of the era's cultural appreciation for music education and its educators. This image, preserved as a fine artwork, underscores music's timeless value in society and the pivotal role played by educators in cultivating artistic talent.

Ernst Stern (1 April 1876 – 28 August 1954) was a Romanian-German scenic designer who, through his collaborations with most of the prominent German directors of the early 20th century, helped define the aesthetic of expressionism in both the theatre and the cinema.
