Johann Sebastian Bach
Born in Germany in 1685, Johann Sebastian Bach had a musical background and in his day, many regarded him as a great musician. However, history will tell you that he is among the best composers who ever lived and was the result of music’s golden age. Even as a young boy, he was already considered a musical prodigy when it came to the organ, though for the most part, he wrote music for the church. Many agree that very few composers come even close to Bach in terms of accomplishments.

What Bach Really Looked Like
Dundee University’s Dr. Caroline Wilkinson used a cast of the skull she believed to be Bach’s in order to recreate him. Actually, the genius composer was buried in a grave that was unmarked and almost lost to history. A century and a half later, renovations were needed at the church where Bach was laid to rest, which was a great opportunity to find him. They were able to find a skull thought to be the composer’s and it was used to create the image here.
