Franz Klein
Franz Klein (1779–1840〔) was an Austrian sculptor; he was born and died in Vienna.〔 He is known particularly for his bust of Ludwig van Beethoven, made in 1812. ==The life mask== Johann Andreas Streicher, pianist and piano-maker, and friend of Beethoven, supervised a private concert hall in Vienna, and in 1812 statues of musicians, sculptured by Klein, were placed in the hall. For the statue of Beethoven, Streicher commissioned Klein to make a life mask of Beethoven.〔Paul Nettl, ''Beethoven Encyclopedia''. Philosophical Library, New York 1956.〕 Creating the mask involved spreading fluid plaster on the face; the first attempt failed, as Beethoven thought he might suffocate. The second attempt was successful. H. C. Robbins Landon has written that this life mask is "without any question, the most important documentary evidence of Beethoven's features." From the life mask, Klein made a bust of Beethoven; the eyes, hair and clothes were added by the sculptor. During the 19th century, various copies of the sculpture were made, in plaster or bronze.〔(Franz Klein (1779-1840), Lebendmaske Ludwig van Beethovens mit Lorbeerkranz - Anonymer Nachguß der von Franz Klein im Jahr 1812 abgenommenen Maske ) Beethoven-Haus Bonn, accessed 6 September 2015.〕〔H.
