This is observed in the miniature enamel portrait formerly in the possession of Anna Maria Thekla Mozart, in the image of Mozart in the della Croce family portrait, and in the portrait by Kraft. Braun noted evidence of sectoral heterochromia in a biometrical analysis of five Mozart portraits. Figure 9b Braun noted that iris coloration in portrait paintings of the eighteenth century is difficult to verify because pigments and varnishes chemically and physically change with age, resulting in color alteration.

In addition, optical issues could explain the iridial changes. The areas interpreted as sectoral heterochromia could instead be the result of the optical effect of ambient light refracting off the corneal dome and casting peripheral crescentic shadows on the irides. If so, shadows would be cast on differing areas of each peripheral iris, depending on the angle and direction of the light source and the position of the subject with respect to the artist. If the light source incident on the irides was from the side, there should be temporal iridial shadowing in the eye closer to the light source and nasal iridial shadowing in the eye farther from the source.

The attested Mozart portraiture suggests that he had large eyes with bluish irides. None of the proffered ocular diagnoses had any demonstrable impact on his compositions, which have come down to us as among the greatest glories of Western civilization. Mozart is often called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Product details

Mozart himself virtually never used the appellative Amadeus , either in his copious correspondence or in the autograph manuscripts of his compositions. Mozart signed his name as W. Music critics in the late s began referring to him as Amadeus , and posterity has kept that incorrect term as a catch-all phrase to identify the composer, his music, and his legacy.

Mozart can be found in the annals of otology because of a rare auricular malformation he may have possessed in his left ear and which his younger son, Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, may also have had, eponymously termed Mozart Ear Mozart Ohr. When referring to two irides, each of a different color, the correct term is heterochromia iridum or complete heterochromia. Valuable assistance was given by Minas Coroneo M.
