New Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Portrait Found

New Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart portrait found. "It shows him in 1783, aged 27, dressed in a red tunic and a white ruff, with a wig of grey hair and an elegant but slightly hooked nose. Until now the enduring image of Mozart has been largely based on the posthumous 1819 portrait by Barbara Kraft, painted 18 years after his death. But this discovery could help change that. "

I immediately thought of how different things are now. Mozart is one of the most famous people from the late 18th century and we barely have pictures of him. 200 years later we're excited to find a new one. Ashley Dupre enters the public consciousness and the first thing she does is remove pictures from her facebook and myspace accounts.

I bet I'm the only person to relate Mozart with Dupre. Thankyouverymuch.
