Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Germany in the year 1685. In his day, he was regarded as a great musician, but history tells us that he is one of the best composers that ever lived, a product of the golden age of music. At a young age, he already showed that he was a musical prodigy in terms of the organ, but he wrote music mostly for the church. It is a common sentiment that very few composers can come close to Bach when it comes to accomplishments.

What Bach Really Looked Like
Dr. Caroline Wilkinson from Dundee University utilized a cast of (what is believed to be) Bach’s skull to recreate him. The genius composer was actually buried in an unmarked grave, almost lost to history forever. However, after 150 years, the church where he was buried needed to be renovated, and they thought it was an opportune time to find him. They found a skull that they believe belongs to the composer and they used it to create this image here.
