10. J.S. Bach the Younger - a painter
C.P.E. Bach was married to Johanna Maria Dannemann in 1744. Only three of their children lived to adulthood. None of them became musicians. One of them - Johann Sebastian Bach "the Younger" was a promising painter, but he died in his late 20s during a visit to Italy. Pictures is one of his artworks, 'Shepherds bathing in a forest'.
