Description

Anton Wilhelm Tischbein Portrait of Wilhelm IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, later Prince Elector W Oil on canvas (relined). 154 x 111 cm. Provenance Collection of Countess Caroline of Hessenstein (1767-1847), mistress of the sitter, Wilhelm IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. - Collection of her daughter Countess Friedrike Auguste of Hessenstein (1795-1855) and her husband Wilhelm von Steuber. - Collection of their daughter Angelika von Steuber (1828-1866) and her husband Friedrich Arnold of Amelunxen. - Subsequently by descent in German aristocratic ownership. This knee-length portrait depicts the later Landgrave Wilhelm IX of Hesse-Kassel (1743-1821), who became regent of the county of Hanau-Münzenberg in 1764, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel in 1785, and Prince Elector Wilhelm I of Hesse-Kassel in 1803. The Hessian regent wears the uniform of the first battalion of the “Erbprinz” infantry regiment of Hesse-Hanau. On his chest he wears the Hessian military order “ Pour la vertu militaire”, which he was awarded by Landgrave Friedrich II in 1769. He also wears the Danish Order of the Elephant on a blue ribbon around his neck, which he received upon his marriage to Wilhelmine Karoline of Denmark in 1764. Anton Wilhelm Tischbein became court painter to Wilhelm IX in Hanau in 1769. He was made a member and teacher at the Hanau drawing academy in 1772. This work can be attributed to the artist due to its similarity to a half-length depiction of the Hanau Regent in the Historisches Museum Hanau dated to 1770. The present work was presumably painted at around the same time as the portrait of the hereditary prince as a general (Museum Schloss Fasanerie) which was painted on occasion of his services in the Prussian army against Austria during the Bavarian War of Succession. Anton Wilhelm Tischbein Wilhelm IX., Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel, späterer Kurfürst Wilhelm I. Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert). 154 x 111 cm. Provenienz Sammlung der Caroline Gräfin v. Hessenstein (1767-1847), Mätresse des porträtierten Wilhelm IX., Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel. - Sammlung ihrer Tochter Friedrike Auguste Gräfin von Hessenstein (1795-1855) und ihrem Gemahl Wilhelm von Steuber. - Sammlung ihrer Tochter Angelika von Steuber (1828-1866) und ihrem Gemahl Friedrich Arnold v. Amelunxen. - Seit Generationen durch Erbgang in deutschem Adelsbesitz. Dieses Kniestück zeigt den späteren Landgraf Wilhelm IX. von Hessen-Kassel (1743-1821), der ab 1764 Regent der Grafschaft Hanau-Münzenberg, ab 1785 Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel und ab 1803 Kurfürst Wilhelm I. von Hessen-Kassel wurde. Der hessische Regent trägt die Uniform des ersten Bataillons des hessisch-hanauischen Infanterieregiments „Erbprinz“. Auf der Brust ist der hessische Militärorden „Pour la vertu militaire“ zu erkennen, den er 1769 von Landgraf Friedrich II. erhielt. An einem blauen Band befindet sich der dänische Elefantenorden, welcher auf seine Heirat mit Wilhelmine Karoline von Dänemark im Jahr 1764 zurückgeht. Anton Wilhelm Tischbein wurde 1769 von Wilhelm IX. zum Hofmaler in Hanau ernannt. Ab 1772 war er Mitglied und Lehrer an der dortigen Zeichenakademie. Der Vergleich mit dem 1770 entstandenen Halbfigurenbild des Hanauer Regenten (Historisches Museum Hanau) von der Hand des Hanauer-Tischbeins belegt sowohl die Identität des Portraitierten wie auch die Handschrift des Malers. Unser Werk dürfte wohl zeitnah zu dem Portrait des Erbprinzen als Kriegsherr (Museum Schloss Fasanerie) entstanden sein, welches anlässlich seiner Teilnahme am Bayerischen Erbfolgekrieg auf der Seiten Preußens gegen Österreich entstand.
