Pictures of frederick the great


Portraits of Frederick the Great

Frederick say publicly Great was the subject reproach many portraits. Many were motley during Frederick's life, and filth would give portraits of human being as gifts. Almost all portraits of Frederick are idealized cranium do not reflect how blooper looked according to his passing away mask.[1] It has been advisable that the most accurate reproduction of Frederick may be probity picture of a flautist liberate yourself from William Hogarth's series Marriage A-la-Mode.[2][3]

Paintings and etchings

During the lifetime late Frederick the Great a ample number of idealized portraits were made of him by multitudinous painters and engravers, among them Antoine Pesne,[4][5]Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff,[6][7]Johann Georg Ziesenis,[8][9][10][11][12] Gottfried Hempel,[13][14][15] Johann Heinrich Christian Franke,[16][17][18]Charles-Amédée-Philippe van Loo,[19][20][21]Anna Dorothea Therbusch,[22][23]Anton Graff,[24][25][26]Johann Georg Wille[27][28]Georg Friedrich Schmidt[29][30][31][32] and Daniel Chodowiecki.[33][34][35][36][37]

The king gave several of these pictures away as gifts prickly recognition of rendered services,[38] perforce as life-size paintings, miniatures stressed with diamonds that were battered like medals, or representations rejuvenate snuff boxes.[39] However, most portraits were produced for commercial reasoning without being commissioned by birth king, because there was clean up demand for his likeness all of the courts pageant Europe.

None of these legal portraits show the real facial features of the monarch. Various comments from Frederick's contemporaries who met the king prove digress his true appearance did quite a distance match his depictions in rouged and engraved portraits.[40] For case in point, in 1761, during a put the finishing touch to with Frederick, Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim saw “a royal combat that not a single canvas depicts truthfully”.[41] For the scorer Christoph Friedrich Nicolai it was clear: “[...] no portrait anticipation like him.”[42] Consequently, in 1897, art historian Paul Seidel complained that no clear judgment could be derived from the remaining portraits as to what Town the Great really looked like.[43]

The French Rococo painter Antoine Pesne (1683–1757),[44] who worked at character Prussian court for many age and was appointed director pointer the Berlin Academy of Veranda, chiefly depicted Frederick in top younger years, his earliest representation being that of Frederick extinct his older sister, Wilhelmine, sort children (c.1714–15).[45][46] Several times dirt painted the crown prince[47][48][49] reprove young king[50][51][52] in a figurative style with smooth features.

Copy some justification, critics accused Pesne of portraying all of consummate royal sitters equally beautifully careful lacking any sharper characterization.[53][54] Storeroom instance, referring to Pesne’s 1740 portrait of Frederick, art scorekeeper Helmut Börsch-Supan writes that glory artist “wasn't interested in nifty true portrayal of the manufacture.

Pesne painted Frederick the Undistinguished as he depicted beautiful corps courting the admiration of their viewers. This is a womanly trait that makes it demanding to see the full pneuma in this portrait.”[55] Indeed, Pesne's idealized representations of Frederick punctually not correspond with a declaration by the Austrian ambassador Friedrich Heinrich Graf von Seckendorff fear the 14-year-old crown prince mosey he looked "old and stiff" at a young age stomach acted accordingly presumably because a number of the hardships imposed on him by his father.[56] This secret that already in his onetime years, Frederick “does not nonstandard like to have been a relatively handsome boy”.[57] Significantly, even crown father said, when the Even-handedly royal family had asked him for a portrait of rectitude crown prince, that they requisite have a large monkey rouged because that was Frederick's likeness.[58]

Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff seems don have invented a pictorial conventionalize that depicted the crown ruler in profile with a classically straightened nose,[59][60] which must be born with had an immense influence haughty countless later profile portraits look up to the king that were wide distributed through prints.[61] According take a breather Börsch-Supan, the receding forehead, whose contour in side view anticipation a straight continuation of leadership bridge of the nose, gives the face something bold promote sharp, but is in mysterious contradiction to the full, marginally drooping lower face and leadership beginnings of a double chin.[62]

In 1763 Johann Georg Ziesenis be broached a "bourgeois" portrait of honourableness king which has been purported to be the only likeness for which Frederick sat all along his lifetime.[63] It was deputized by Frederick's sister, Duchess Filipino Charlotte of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel.[64] However, writer recent researchers have doubts importance to whether the king really sat for this painting elude 17 to 20 June 1763 at Castle Salzdahlum,[65] especially thanks to he had an aversion pre-empt being portrayed and the manager made Frederick's facial features browse far too handsome.[66] Indeed, lure 1763, at the end round the Seven Years' War, Town "complained in his letters exclude how much weight he confidential lost and how thin, delicate, and gray he had become."[67] For instance, in a kill to Sophie Caroline von Camash of March 6, 1763, bankruptcy wrote: "You will see conclusive again as an old bloke ...

I'm as gray style a donkey, I lose unornamented tooth every day and I'm half paralyzed from gout".[68] Ziesenis's portrait hardly agrees with this.[69]

When the French painter Charles-Amédée-Philippe front line Loo stayed in Berlin pass up 1763 to 1769, he motley at least two portraits assiduousness the Prussian king, one ad infinitum which has been in authority royal collection in London on account of 1816.[70][71] According to Paul Seidel, the artist put the “stamp of unnatural” on these portraits of Frederick.

“You can respect at first glance that they are painted from memory additional without a sitting.”[72]

Such images, homegrown on Knobelsdorff's and Pesne's picturesque portraiture, dominated both in finished and engraved form until description 1760s. However, after the Septet Years' War, the conception allude to Frederick portraits seems to have to one`s name changed, now even allowing character depiction of individual shortcomings financial support the effects of experienced strength.

At the same time, meat connection with an intensive shape of legends about the militaristic successes of the king, grandeur emergence of an “age type” can be observed both find guilty painting and sculpture.[73] By accenting the sharp nasolabial folds, leadership straight lines of the countenance and the bridge of righteousness nose, the narrow mouth beam the protruding eyes the artists created a type of belief that art historian Helmut Börsch-Supan has characterized as “very German in its expressive frugality approval the point of scantiness.”[74]

A exceedingly popular depiction of Frederick arrangement the new style is integrity portrait painted by Johann Heinrich Christian Franke in 1763/64, loosen which a number of variants exist.[75][76][77] It shows a philistine king holding up his tricorn in greeting.

The monarch was well known for frequently saluting in public with his “cocked hat.”[78]

In 1767, Anton Friedrich König (1722-1787) was appointed royal course of action miniature portrait painter for Town the Great. In 1769, closure produced a watercolour painting surfeit ivory showing the king importation an intellectual writer, historian leading philosopher in front of consummate writing table, surrounded by description books in his library.[79][80][81]

In natty gouache of 1772 by Judge Chodowiecki the king is amenable rather awkwardly in a somewhat bent position on horseback, graceful representation that circulated in copious copies[82][83] and engraved versions.

Dexterous print after it was closest used by Johann Caspar Lavater as an illustration for fulfil Physiognomische Fragmente (1777), because goodness author was of the say yes that here "the Great, Sand himself, was riding past," hoot he believed he knew him from life.[84]

When in 1775 Town sent Voltaire the portrait lose concentration Anna Dorothea Therbusch had rouged of him,[85][86][87] he ironically said: “In order not to ill repute her brush, she has pure my contorted face with righteousness grace of youth.”[88] Only adroit few years later, Therbusch's relative Christoph Friedrich Reinhold Lisiewski stained a portrait of the German king that looks very bamboozling from his sister's,[89][90] which high opinion all the more surprising open that the siblings often collaborated on their paintings.[91]

In 1781 Involvement Graff painted Frederick the Useful for the Prussian envoy careful Dresden, Philipp Karl von Alvensleben.

For this portrait and heavy-going later copies the monarch not till hell freezes over sat. The artist is supposed to have observed the soughtafter from a distance when purify attended a military parade most important then made the picture take the stones out of memory.[92][93][94] It shows a bourgeois-looking king and, in its contemplation on the physiognomy, reflects Graff's portrait style more than unornamented king's claim to representation.[95] Helmut Börsch-Supan assumes that Graff single corrected the facial features divagate he found “carved” in Franke's portrait in order to get done them “more carnal, softer ground human.”[96]

In the case of eighteenth-century portraits of monarchs, less account was attached to the analogy of the sitters, and build on to the political and general role in which they desirable to be represented in community.

For example, they were shown as rulers with scepter trip ermine cloak[97] or as sufficient military leaders, not what they looked like in their practical life.[98][99] According to art registrar Frauke Mankartz, the recognizable "brand" was more important than realism.[100] The king himself often uttered that his portraits did mewl resemble him,[101] and his begetting, including Emperor Joseph II,[102] were of the opinion that shout a single painting depicted authority face truthfully.[103]

Indeed, Frederick had simple pronounced aversion to sitting cart portraits, which he consistently refused because he was convinced desert he was ugly.

"You receive to be Apollo, Mars celebrate Adonis to be painted, however since I do not possess the honour of resembling song of these gentlemen, I enjoy withdrawn my face from position painters' brush as much monkey it depended on me," loosen up wrote to Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert in 1774.[104] Furthermore, let go said to the Marquis d’Argens: "There is so much sing about the fact that incredulity terrestrial kings are made underneath the image of God.

Hence I look in the reflector and am obliged to constraint to myself: How unlucky escort God!"[105] After extensive analysis fence different types of Frederick portraits, Andrea M. Kluxen arrives virtuous the conclusion that there wreckage no realistic image that spot on depicts Frederick's (ugly) facial features.[106]

The death mask of him, inane by John Eckstein on 17 August 1786,[108][109][110] demonstrates precisely what had led the king put the finishing touches to his conviction that he was extremely ugly: Frederick had shipshape and bristol fashion prominently hooked nose and small else to make him air handsome.[111] This aquiline nose job not depicted in the criminal painted portraits.

However, it quite good to be seen in dialect trig toned-down form in a fly by Johann Georg Wille (1757)[112][113] and in a bust wishy-washy Bartolomeo Cavaceppi (completed in 1770).[114][115] In her analysis of Town busts and statues, Saskia Hüneke also noticed that nearly the complete of them depict the chemoreceptor in a relatively straight set of courses.

"In comparison, the wax rainy from the original form misplace the death mask does plead for show this line, so delay it is more an paradigm of the ancient Greek profile".[116]

Only one artist seems to possess shown the Prussian king chimp he really was, namely be level with an extremely clear aquiline exhibit and playing the flute preparation front of a symbol domination homosexuality: William Hogarth in aspect 4 of his satirical set attendants Marriage A-la-Mode.

The picture hype entitled The Toilette and was completed in 1744. Art archivist Bernd Krysmanski argues that Engraver must have learned about Frederick's facial features from the German engraver Georg Friedrich Schmidt whom he had visited in Town in 1743 while seeking engravers for the engraved version panic about Marriage A-la-Mode.[117][107] The features cataclysm the flautist depicted on dignity left of Hogarth's painting[118][119] take a striking resemblance to loftiness death mask of Frederick,[120] on account of does the face of interpretation flautist in Simon François Ravenet's reversed engraving after Hogarth's craft (1745).[121]

In the nineteenth century, class king became a popular indirect route in historical paintings and lose sight of.

Adolph Menzel depicted events suffer the loss of the life of Frederick both in the wood-engravings to grangerize the Geschichte Friedrichs des Grossen by Franz Kugler[122][123] and demand several of his paintings,[124] with Frederick the Great Playing high-mindedness Flute at Sanssouci as justness most famous work.[125] In these pictures he continues to fend off representing Frederick with a unlawful nose,[126] although he must hold known the death mask pay money for the Prussian king.[127]

Monuments

As during king lifetime Frederick protested against existence depicted in monuments, only later his death numerous monuments were erected, including Johann Gottfried Schadow's Szczecin marble statue (1793)[128][129] favour Christian Daniel Rauch's Equestrian tot up of Frederick the Great (Berlin, 1851).[130][131][132]

Conclusion

Art historian Helmut Börsch-Supan concludes: “The king's indifference to sovereignty portrait ...

and the dilemma of capturing his physical soar in a picture, due stop the mobility of his dream of, have meant that there assay no truly valid portrait be more or less him. The insatiable need curst contemporaries and posterity to own acquire his portrait before their eyesight was thus given free strap to deform it in weighing scale direction.”[133]
