Brahms am Flügel, 1896

... that after Willy von Beckerath had studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, he depicted Johannes Brahms at the grand piano (pictured)? Source: mostly the famous painting that people probably always wanted to know who made it

Comment: I noticed that in the article, there is no explicit claim on the chronology of his Brahms portraits (besides the 1896 dating of the painting, which remains to be cited) to support this DYK. GeneralPoxter (talk • contribs) 14:28, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you could just find a better hook wording. What strikes me is that the old Brahms was depicted by a rather young man. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to Von Beckerath organ family?

It might be interesting to know if Willy von Beckerath was related to the von Beckerath family of organ builders. There is no mention in the article one way or the other. Marty55 (talk) 15:11, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
