Henri Wieniawski, the Celebrated Violinist at Jullien's Concerts - from a photograph by Mayall, 1858 Creator: Unknown
Henri Wieniawski, the Celebrated Violinist at Jullien's Concerts - from a photograph by Mayall, 1858. At the age of eight, having given the most marked evidence of a musical organisation, he was sent, by command and at the expense of the Emperor Nicholas, to commence a course of musical study at the Conservatoire of Paris...at the age of eleven he was awarded the first prize of the Conservatoire-the highest distinction which, in the eyes of Europe, can be conferred on the successful musical student...At the age of sixteen Wieniawski visited Berlin... [where] he had during that single season given sixteen concerts, all of which were brilliantly attended...On the occasion of his visit to this capital he was presented by the King of Prussia with the grand medal, "Des Beaux Arts" - a distinction only accorded to the most eminent merit. During a subsequent tour through Saxony, where he continued to win the most signal proofs of admiration, he received the decoration of the Ernestine Haus Order...he proceeded to Holland, where he gave in succession one hundred and forty concerts...Wieniawski is remarkable in private for his modest and retiring demeanour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Henri Wieniawski, the celebrated violinist, is seen in a moment of repose before a performance at Jullien's Concerts in London, 1858. The image, captured by the renowned photographer Mayall, offers a glimpse into the life of a musical prodigy whose extraordinary talent had already earned him international acclaim. Born in Poland in 1832, Wieniawski's musical abilities were evident from an early age. At eight years old, he was sent to the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied under the patronage of Emperor Nicholas I. By the age of eleven, Wieniawski had achieved the highest distinction possible for a musical student, winning the first prize of the Conservatoire. In the following years, Wieniawski's career took him to Berlin, where he gave sixteen concerts in a single season, all of which were met with tremendous success. The King of Prussia recognized his merit by presenting him with the grand medal "Des Beaux Arts." Wieniawski's subsequent tour through Saxony brought him further accolades, including the decoration of the Ernestine Haus Order. The photograph reveals a young man of remarkable poise and concentration, seemingly lost in the music that had already captivated the hearts of audiences across Europe. Despite his public success, Wieniawski was known for his modest and retiring demeanor in private. This image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest violinists of all time.
