Das Bild der Herrscherin : Franz Xaver Winterhalter und die Gattungspolitik des Portrats im 19. Jahrhundert Hardback
by Titia Hensel
Part of the Ars et Scientia series
Hardback
Description
Franz Xaver Winterhalter, one of the most sought-after and productive artists of the 19th century, developed various types of portraits in strategically composed portraiture programmes, which shaped the image of rulers and rulers’ wives across different political systems.
This example is taken in order to discuss how recognition of rulership is conferred in concrete terms, and to what extent the visualisation of claims to power is dependent on office and gender.
The author identifies three reproducible patterns of legitimation, defining new terms of investigation - fashion, regalia and virtue portraits - that will assist future research across epochs. Fundamental study on portraiture of female rulers New perspectives on one of the most successful and productive 19th century court artists Women in positions of political leadership
