Hadi Karimi: Reconstructing Lifelike Images of Celebrated Composers

[patmos.beje]

Has anyone seen this Iranian sculptor’s webpage in ArtStation?

I discovered him last year when I found a reference to his attempt to construct a 3D image of Chopin based, among other things, on the 2 known daguerreotypes of him and his death mask.  He has since attempted a further construction of Chopin.

There are 3 daguerreotypes of Schumann which he used to construct a 3D image of him.

There are 2 constructions of Beethoven, at different times of his life, together with Bach, Mozart, Schubert and Mendelssohn.  These are in addition to Clara Schumann, Liszt and Brahms, of which there are several daguerreotypes and photographs.

I wonder what might come next. Handel and Haydn?

I had seen the Chopin and the Brahms online before but I hadn't seen the others. They are fascinating to look at and incredibly skilful. Thanks for the links.  :)

They are indeed. They send a slight shiver down my spine! Thanks very much.
