Large Vintage “Portrait of the Singer Jenny Lind” by Eduard Magnus 1846
$35
26” wide x 32” high. Bought in 1950 in Birmingham at the Pizitz department store downtown. Wooden frame. Under Glass.
This is a vintage reproduction of the famous painting by Eduard Magnus of Jenny Lind. The original painting hangs in the Alte Nationalgalerie in - Staatliche Museen in Berlin, Germany. A reproduction of this is on display at the National Portrait Gallery in room 22. It was bequeathed by Jenny Lind’s son, Ernest Svend David Goldschmidt in 1951. He was for a time the preeminent portrait painter in Berlin and was a professor at the Academy of Art.
Johanna Maria "Jenny" Lind was a Swedish opera singer, often called the "Swedish Nightingale". One of the most highly regarded singers of the 19th century, she performed in soprano roles in opera in Sweden and across Europe, and undertook an extraordinarily popular concert tour of the United States beginning in 1850. She earned more than $350,000 from these concerts, donating the proceeds to charities, principally the endowment of free schools in Sweden. With her new husband, Otto Goldschmidt, she returned to Europe in 1852 where she had three children and gave occasional concerts over the next two decades, settling in England in 1855. From 1882, for some years, she was a professor of singing at the Royal College of Music in London.
