Well, there's only one authentic poster of the big man in existence, which
shows him wearing a brilliant wry smile. Much better than the pretentious
portraits so common of the time. Bach's outrageous use of counterpoint,
and the general innovation in his melodies, makes him the bee's knees of
Baroque composers IMO.

Plus he had about 20 kids, was fat and got into fights. Respect.
