Golden Boy: Beethoven's Youth #[nn]

A young red-haired boy sits at a grand piano as vivid ribbons of color — deep blue, gold, and orange — swirl upward from the keys in an arresting visual metaphor for music taking flight. Mikaël Ross's watercolor-infused cover art for this 2022 Fantagraphics hardcover is quietly mesmerizing, balancing delicacy and raw energy in a single image. Golden Boy: Beethoven's Youth promises an intimate, visually lyrical look at the early life of one of history's most celebrated composers.
