About Jupiter 41 - Mozart's Reverie
Wolfgang Amadeaus Mozart's completed his Symphony 41, on August 10, 1788. It was his last symphony. Melody so delicate as his finances detoriated and his family became destitute. Somehow, he was able to write an ethereal and light symphony even as he was writing letters to friends asking for money. I am intrigued by his artistic genius to be able to shut out everything and allow inspiration to flow naturally as he composed the 41st symphony.
The 41st symphony was later named "the Jupiter Symphony." So in this paiting I have two red Jupiter globes - when light and airy by Mozart and one heavy and looming in the sky above. I find an interesting contrast between the heavy gravitas of the planet Jupiter and the light, joyous and ethereal melodies in Symphony 41.
