Description

Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder and workshop Portrait of the Landgrave Friedrich II. of Hesse Oil on canvas (relined). 82 x 64 cm. Certificate Prof. Dr. Erich Herzog, Kassel, 11.11. 1989. Friedrich II (1720-1785) was the son of Landgrave Wilhelm VIII of Hesse-Kassel and succeeded his father in 1760. He had already married the daughter of the English King George II 20 years prior to this, in the course of which he was accepted as a member of the “Order of the Garter”. Friedrich secretly converted to Catholicism in 1749, and the discovery of which several years later led to his separation from his wife and children. Friedrich II is considered the first enlightened ruler in Hesse and, with the opening of the Fredericianum in 1779, he also went down in history as the founder of the first museum on the European continent to be freely open to the public. This portrait depicts the Landgrave against a schematic architectural backdrop, wearing the emblems of the British Order of the Garter, the Prussian Order of the Black Eagle and the blue ribbon of the Hessian order “Pour la vertu militaire” which he himself had founded in 1769. Several versions of this portrait of the Hessian Landgrave by Johann Heinrich Tischbein exist, some of which are knee-length or half-length and some of which have variations in the clothing or backgrounds. Particularly noteworthy is the beautiful period frame with crowns in the four corners in which this painting is housed. As Erich Herzog, the former director of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Kassel, mentions in his expertise, such frames are also found in the Kassel Gemäldegalerie. Johann Heinrich Tischbein d. Ä. und Werkstatt Portrait des Landgrafen Friedrich II. von Hessen-Ka Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert). 82 x 64 cm. Gutachten Prof. Dr. Erich Herzog, Kassel, 11.11. 1989. Friedrich II. (1720-1785) war der Sohn des Landgrafen Wilhelm VIII. von Hessen-Kassel, dem er 1760 in der Regierung folgte. Bereits 20 Jahre zuvor hatte er die Tochter des englischen Königs Georg II. geheiratet und war infolgedessen in den „Order of the Garter“, den berühmten Hosenbandorden aufgenommen worden. 1749 konvertierte Friedrich heimlich zum katholischen Glauben, was nach dem Bekanntwerden wenige Jahre später die Trennung von seiner Frau und seinen Kindern zur Folge hatte. Friedrich II. gilt heute als erster Fürst der Aufklärung in Hessen, der mit dem 1779 entstandenen Fridericianum darüber hinaus das erste frei zugängliche Museum des europäischen Festlands gründete und damit Museumsgeschichte schrieb. Auf unserem Portrait präsentiert sich der Landgraf vor einem angedeuteten Architekturhintergrund mit dem britischen Hosenbandorden und dem preußischen Schwarzen Adler-Orden sowie dem hessischen, 1769 von Friedrich II. selber gegründeten Orden „Pour la vertu militaire“ am blauen Ordensband. Von diesem Bildnistypus des hessischen Landgrafen existieren mehrere Varianten von der Hand Johann Heinrich Tischbeins d. Ä., teils auch als Kniestück oder halbfigurige Wiedergabe, die sich u.a. bezüglich des Bildhintergrunds und der Kleidung Friedrichs unterscheiden. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der schöne, zeitgenössische Rahmen unseres Gemäldes mit Kronen in den vier Ecken. Wie Erich Herzog, der ehemalige Direktor der Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Kassel, in seinem Gutachten erwähnt, finden sich solche Rahmen auch in der Kasseler Gemäldegalerie.
