Description

Johann Jakob Schmitz Portrait of a Knight of the Teutonic Order, possibly Ferdinand Caspar Freihe Oil on canvas (relined). 82.5 x 65.5 cm. Signed and dated lower left: J. Schmitz P. Ao 1770. Ferdinand Caspar von Kleist (1729-1812) came from a family originating in Pomerania but who produced several officers for the Cologne Electoral army in the 18th century. Ferdinand Caspar also pursued a military career in the comparatively modest electoral army after working as a page at the court of the Cologne Elector Clemens August. He also became a knight of the Teutonic Order in 1768, and the present work depicts him with their insignia. The proud knight is here portrayed by Johann Jakob Schmitz, an artist who joined the Cologne painter's guild in 1759 and was also a court painter for Electors Max Friedrich and Max Franz since at least 1768. The present work is an interesting document in the history of the Electorate of Cologne, which was extinguished in 1803. Johann Jakob Schmitz Portrait eines Ritters des Deutschen Ordens, wohl Ferdinand Caspar Freiherr Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert). 82,5 x 65,5 cm. Signiert und datiert unten links: J. Schmitz P. Ao 1770. Ferdinand Caspar von Kleist (1729-1812) entstammte einer ursprünglich in Pommern beheimateten Familie, die jedoch im 18. Jahrhundert mehrere kurkölnische Offiziere hervorbrachte. So schlug auch Ferdinand Caspar eine militärische Karriere in der vergleichsweise bescheidenen kurkölnischen Armee ein, nachdem er zunächst Edelknabe am Hof des Kölner Kurfürsten Clemens August gewesen war. Seit 1768 war er darüber hinaus Ritter des Deutschen Ordens, mit dessen Insignien ihn das vorliegende Bildnis zeigt. Der stolze Ordensritter ließ sich hier von Johann Jakob Schmitz porträtieren, der seit 1759 der Kölner Malerzunft angehörte, darüber hinaus aber seit spätestens 1768 auch zu den Hofmalern der Kölner Kurfürsten Max Friedrich und Max Franz zählte. Unser Gemälde ist somit in mehrfacher Hinsicht ein interessantes Zeugnis für die Geschichte des 1803 erloschenen Kurfürstentums Köln.
