Was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart blind

Answer 1

I think he was loosing his sight towards the end of his life, but I haven't read that he was blind.

---------------------------------------------------------

There are different types of blindness. It's been suggested that Rembrandt might have suffered a particular type called stereo blindness, which would mean he had difficulty with depth perception and couldn't see three dimensions as well as normal people. This would probably have helped him as an artist, though, since painting often means reducing what we see in the 3-D world to a 2-D canvas.

Answer 2

No, he never went blind.

Vincent was an oddity,... like Rembrandt, but Rembrandt I think did go partially blind in his old age before he died. "It took time for Vincent to begin to break and penetrate the general shell. The MFA experts just sit there behind their shells, and stick to it like frogs to their ponds. They will not answer, for they can not think or see for themselves. The shells that they live in have to see, speak and act for them. This whole MFA world is made up of this cursed shell,... only artist's like Vincent worked against it. Vincent always started from the beginning, like standing on the far side of his pond calling for the others to come over and join him. Of course it was irritating for the MFA experts! How could it be other wise, when he stood looking down on their ponds with solid earth beneath his feet? Vincent said white when others said black,... he laughed why they cried. Perhaps he did this for only fun, and because he was one while the others were the whole world."

"Would Vincent ever penetrate the MFA world completely? Woulds he ever draw these men and women of the MFA expertise unto him, even though he gave his life to do it. Or would he come up against a more impenetrable shell and finally, worst of all, the approbation of the masses? They say if the world took him seriously , he would be regarded as its destroyer. He alone. No wonder he aggravated them, when he was a thorn in the side of mankind. Cast him out,... Kill him! Bury the traitor out of sight, under the shell! No, don't beat him, he's not worth it. Ha ha, let a mad man like that go on with his painting!"
