Portrait of Laura Bernabo (1839). Carl Theodor von Blaas (German, 1886-1960).
“One Sunday in the Perugia Cathedral I saw a beautiful young woman, who made me forget the Mass and the holy environment. Back at the guesthouse I sketched her from memory, and the landlord said right away, “That is the beautiful Bernabo girl!” She was like the noble Lina, and as a result I drew her with a lot of spirit. In the evening on the Promenade I saw her again, and she attracted me like some invisible power. And as she walked into a narrow street, I asked her mother if I could paint her beautiful daughter. I told her I was an itinerant artist, seeking beauty wherever I found it...”

After all the ball resumes! 🥂
.
.
.
Ahem, my bad, the Vienna Congress will be opened next year only!
Until then we’re stuck with an incredibly important meeting of prominent people which will eventually lead to an extraordinary outcome (especially if we remember all the past wars and their results which were rather… unfavourable for all the previous Coalitions and their paticipants).
And that’s why here comes
Part 2 of the main characters in the Kraft’s painting “Battle of Leipzig”
Let’s continue our small-talk with another representative of the general-headquarters, the most important one for sure - count Joseph Radetzky von Radetz, the chief-of-staff in the Bohemian army led by Schwarzenberg himself. Amongst his colleagues in the headquarters he probably had the most influence on the decisions made by Schwarzenberg and three allied monarchs themselves.
His placement in the painting illustrates this idea quite well! Even though at first sight he seems to be somewhat “lost” among the officers surrounding him, Radetzky is actually in the heart of a crowd probably listening to Gneisenau’s thoughts on the current state of affairs. 🗣
I also want to give another illustrative example of him wearing dark-green which, in my opinion, suits him very well. :)
It’s a much later artwork (the second half of the 19th century) created by another talented Austrian painter Carl von Blaas - a series of panels in the Ruhmeshalle (the Hall of Fame) which is located in the Museum of Military History in Vienna. There, on the walls from floor to ceiling are depicted the most important military victories in the history of Austria. This one in particular shows us the aftermath of a battle: kaiser Franz decorates the commander-in-chief of allied forces - Karl zu Schwarzenberg - with the Grand Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa. Right behind him stands Radetzky with his arms crossed on his chest.
Soooo serious and solemn! ✨
(One more off top since I simply can’t help myself… Like, OMG, Schwarzenberg looks so blissful in this picture. It’s literally heartwarming! 🤲🤲🤲)
All in all, there’re many representatives from different European countries making up the crowd behind three monarchs’ backs. I’m sure there must be some military men from those German states which after all decided to join the allied forces but I’m not competent enough to identify all of them… (Yet, hopefully! 😅)
But I can say for sure that at least two more men in the crowd (who are somewhat hiding behind other’s backs) are of a particular interest.
The first one has such striking appearance that it’s almost impossible to confuse him with anyone else. Say hello to Adam Albert von Neipperg, a military men, a diplomat and… a future husband of archduchess Marie Louise as she was never allowed to reunite with Napoleon after the victory of the allies.
What a surprise to see him out there!
By the way, nice eyepatch, my man. ✨
And next to him is Maximilian von Merveldt, a general who was unfortunate enough to be captured by Napoleon’s men during the first day of a battle…
Oops, that’s quite unpleasant. :(
After that he had to deliver Napoleon’s peace offering which was immediately rejected by allied monarchs since it was only the 16th of October and much more reinforcements were on their way to the battlefield. ✊
To be continued even 🔜 er

▪GABRIEL CORNELIUS RITTER VON MAX (1840 - 1915) pintor austriaco nacido en Praga. Título de la obra: VIRGEN DE LAS ROSAS (1900).
Estudió en la Academia de Artes de Praga con Eduard von Engerth. Continuó sus estudios en la Academia de Arte de Viena con Karl von Blaas, estudió en la Academia de Munich con Karl Theodor von Piloty, y también con Hans Makart y Franz Defregger. Su primer éxito crítico fue en 1867 con la pintura "Mártir en la cruz": esa pintura transformó el "Unglücksmalerei" (paleta oscura) de Piloty en un simbolismo religioso-místico utilizando una representación psicológica de su tema. Continuó usando la paleta oscura de la escuela Piloty hasta la década de 1870, luego se movió hacia una paleta más apagada, usando menos colores y más claros.
Sus estudios incluyeron parapsicología (sonambulismo, hipnotismo, espiritismo), darwinismo , filosofía asiática, las ideas de Schopenhauer y diversas tradiciones místicas. El movimiento espiritual-místico fue enfatizado por los escritos de Carl du Prel, y el pintor de Munich Albert Keller también fue una influencia.
Su interés en los estudios antropológicos también se mostró en su trabajo. En su residencia en el lago Starnberger, Gabriel Max se rodeó de una familia de monos, que pintó a menudo, a veces retratándolos como humanos.
