Biography
Few European artists of the 18th century were as successful as Johann Baptist Lampi. Born to a wealthy Austrian family in what is today Northern Italy, he traveled to study art in Verona and Salzburg, just as the Neo-Classical Renaissance was taking off in the Austrian Empire among artists such as Václav Bernard Ambrosi and Karl Aigen.
Lampi developed a reputation as a great painter of naturalistic histories and flattering portraiture, which won him several commissions and helped him to remain solvent through the 1770s and 1780s, before he became established on the European art scene.
Johann Baptist Lampi's style was exemplary of its time and place. Unlike in later centuries, when painters would consciously attempt a distinctive style and largely abandon naturalism, Lampi strove to express very realistic scenes tilted toward biblical and historical subjects. His portraits were sought by nobility and European royalty throughout his life, and several commissions developed into decades-long patronage.
Giovanni Battista Lampi detto Il Vecchio (Romeno 1751 - Vienna 1830) cerchia di Ritratto di nobiluomo Olio su tela 73 x 59 cm Nato a Romeno, nell'allora principato vescovile trentino, essendo figlio d’arte ricevette le prime lezioni di pittura dal padre e dal cugino Pietro Antonio Lorenzini. Dopo aver studiato a Verona col pittore tiepolesco Francesco Lorenzi, iniziò la sua attività artistica realizzando ritratti e pale a Trento e dintorni. In un secondo tempo si trasferì in Austria, entrando in contatto con l'arciduchessa Maria Elisabetta di Asburgo-Lorena, di cui eseguì un ritratto e grazie alla quale entrò presso la corte viennese. Diventato uno dei pittori più in vista della capitale, Giuseppe II lo nominò professore all'Accademia. La sua fama arrivò a coprire l’intera Europa, e nel 1791 Lampi approdò a Pietroburgo chiamato da Caterina II. Grazie alla protezione della zarina, da lui ritratta più volte, ottenne molti incarichi, tanto da dover rimanere in loco più di sei anni. In questo periodo realizzò una serie di ritratti, caratterizzati dal realismo dei volti, dalla luminosità vitrea delle figure contrastata dai fondali scuri, dallo splendore degli abiti, dall’accurata ricercatezza dei più minuti dettagli e dalla morbidezza cromatica, tanto da essere considerati tra i capolavori della ritrattistica europea del XVIII secolo. Rientrato a Vienna, forte della sua fama, continuò la sua attività, e fu nominato Cavaliere dell'Impero.

RUSSIAN MINIATURE PORTRAIT PRINCE NIKOLAI YUSUPOV, C 1790. Comprising a finely rendered watercolor on ivory depicting a three quarters bust portrait of Prince Nikolay Borisovich Yusupov (1750-1831), circle of noted court artist Giovanni Battista I Lampi (1751 - 1830). The Prince shown wearing a purple velvet jacket and the Imperial Russian Order of St. Stanislav and contained in a period gilt bronze glazed frame with chased banding, gilt swag on ebony plaque below and ribbon tied oak leaf laurel finial. Indistinguishably inscribed in Russian on verso of portrait. Overall height 5.25 inches (13.5cm). Provenance: Sotheby's, London auction of Nov. 25th, 1991, where acquired by the present owner, Dr. Idris Traylor, Lubbock, Texas. Prince Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov (1750-1831) was a Russian nobleman and art collector of the House of Yusupov. He was the eldest son of Prince Boris Grigoryevich Yusupov (1695-1759). He served as a senator (from 1788), diplomat (from 1783 to 1789), Actual Civil Councillor (from 1796), Minister of State Properties (1800–16), a member of the Council of State (from 1823) and Director of Imperial Theatres (1791-1796) under a series of sovereigns, including Catherine the Great, Paul I and Alexander I. He later also served as director of the Hermitage (in 1797), the Kremlin Armoury and the state porcelain and glass factories (c.1792). A patron of the arts and a keen traveler, he spoke five languages and corresponded with Voltaire. As a diplomat, Prince Nikolai travelled throughout Europe, to France and Versailles, where he met Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, to Germany and Prussia, where he met Frederick the Great, to Austria, where he met Emperor Joseph II, and to Italy. During his journey he purchased a large collection of art for the tsar, acting as a mediator between the tsars and European artists. Yusupov collected for himself alongside collecting for the tsars, and thus his own collection of paintings and objets d'art evolved from the same sources as the Imperial one. His own collection became one of Europe's richest collections and included over 600 paintings, sculptures, works of applied art, more than 20,000 books and porcelain, most of which he put on display in his estate. After 1917 his extensive collection was broken up and passed to several different museums, though the bulk of it is kept in Arkhangelskoye, the Hermitage and the Pushkin Museum. In 1804, Nicholas went to Paris and frequently met Napoleon I, who presented him with a gift of three large tapestries. He also commissioned Sappho and Phaon from Jacques-Louis David in 1809. In 1810 Yusupov bought Arkhangelskoye Estate, where he lived with his wife and family and which he turned into a luxurious palace, park and summer residence in Moscow. Prince Nicholas built his own porcelain factory there, with much of the artisans from France. He died aged 80 and was succeeded by his second and only remaining son, Prince Boris, since their elder son, Prince Nikolai, died in infancy.

ÉCOLE RUSSE VERS 1800, SUIVEUR DE JOHANN BAPTIST VON LAMPI (1751-1830) Portrait d'Alexandre Bezborodko (1747-1799) Huile sur cuivre 34,5 x 28 cm. (13 1/2 x 11 in.)
18th C. European after Johann Baptist I von Lampi (Austrian-Italian, 1751- 1830). Oil on canvas portrait of Catherine the Great, ca. 1790s. A striking oval portrait of Empress Catherine II - best known as Catherine the Great (1729-1796) of Russia. In this portrait she is depicted as a mature woman wearing a grand necklace of Saint Andrew. According to Fabian de Montjoye, at least three other similar versions are known. One was given to General Alexandre Yermolov (1754-1834) who was Catherine the Great's lover from 1785-1786 and is owned by the Champeaux family. Another was given to French miniaturist Ferdinand de Meys (active 1780-1805) and is with M. Fautrat in Senlis. Lampi was an esteemed portraitist of aristocrats, and it has been said that Lampi was to Vienna what Largilliere (1656-1746) was to Paris. Catherine the Great reigned as Empress of Russia after her husband Peter III (1728-1762) was deposed following a conspiracy, and her reign is generally viewed as the pinnacle of Russian nobility. A striking portrait of the legendary Catherine the Great set in a lovely gold-tone wooden frame. Size of painting: 24.5" L x 18.875" W (62.2 cm x 47.9 cm) Size of frame: 19.875" L x 24.25" W (50.5 cm x 61.6 cm) In this bust-length portrait, Catherine the Great looks out with a steadfast gaze, her radiant visage comprised of a powdered complexion, rouged cheeks, rose red pursed lips, a double chin signifying her wealth and elite status, and engaging blue eyes, all crowned by an elaborate beaded hair ornament adorning her updo with long banana curls gracing her shoulders. She wears luxurious vestments decorated with finely tatted lace and a lustrous necklace of Saint Andrew. The gold tone frame, though not original to the painting, is still of considerable age and complements the portrait beautifully. Johann Baptist Lampi the Elder was an Austrian-Italian artist who specialized in history paintings and portraits. Upon receiving an enticing offer from the Tsar, he settled in the Russian Empire after the final partition of Poland. Born at Romeno in Tyrol, he was the son of the artist Matteo (Mattia) Lampi, who painted frescoes in Romeno. Johanne Baptist Lampi the Elder studied under his father in Verona and then Salzburg. In 1773, he relocated to Trento where he honed his skills painting portraits and miniatures. He then travelled to Innsbruck followed by Vienna, where Emperor Joseph II honored him with a professorship at the Vienna Academy in 1786. In addition, the court of King Stanislaw II Augustus invited Johann Baptist I von Lampi to Warsaw the same year, where he worked until the military partitions of Poland were complete. He then moved to St. Petersburg in 1791 where the Czar knighted him. Johann Baptist Lampi the Elder was very successful in Russia and earned a fortune painting portraits of aristocrats including Empress Catherine II and Empress Maria Fedorovna. In 1797, he returned to Vienna and became an honorary citizen in 1799. Both of his sons - Johann Baptist the Younger and Franciszek Ksawery Lampi - were accomplished artists as well.

Ref19C121121 This half-length portrait depicts the Austrian statesman Count Johann Philipp Cobenzl facing the viewer and gesturing with his right hand, as if in conversation with a counterpart. He is shown in front of a softly falling, velvety green drapery, which provides only a narrow view of the grey-green wall behind it. The sitter presents himself with a powdered wig and in sumptuous clothing: He wears a purple velvet jacket above a lace shirt and above it a bright red collar. Special care has been taken in the reproduction of the badges of the orders with which the sitter is decorated. The most important is the Order of the Golden Fleece, which Cobenzl received in 1792 and which he wears here suspended from its characteristic collar. Beneath it is the insignia of the Leopold Order, which was only founded by Emperor Franz I in 1808. The red ribbon on his shoulder and the upper of the two badges, a red-enamelled eight pointed star with the motto “Integritati et Merito”, also belong to this order. The star with the "Grand Aigle" below it indicates membership to the Legion of Honour, which was founded in 1802 upon the proposal of Napoléon Bonaparte, the First Consul of the French Republic, and for which Napoleon, as Emperor, donated appropriate insignia two years later. Johann Philipp Count Cobenzl (1741-1810) had a varied career at the Habsburg imperial court. From 1779 to 1792 he served as Austrian Vice-Chancellor, then for almost a year as Foreign Minister. As Austrian envoy, Count Cobenzl was active in Paris from 1801 to 1805, that is, at the time of Napoleon's rise as emperor, which may explain his acceptance into the Legion of Honour. Johann Baptist Lampi was one of the most successful portrait painters of the Central and Eastern European nobility in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in South Tyrol, the artist first worked for over two decades in numerous different cities, including Vienna, Salzburg, Verona and Warsaw. This was followed by a five-year stay in St. Petersburg as court painter to the Russian Tzarina Catherine II, after which he finally settled in Vienna in 1797 and remained there for the rest of his life. "Upon his return to Austria, Lampi brought with him honours and tributes that few other artists in Europe could boast of" (Roberto Pancheri: Johann Baptist Lampi d. Ä. und die Porträtmalerei in Wien zwischen Ancien Régime und Vormärz, in : Exhib. cat. "Europa in Wien. Der Wiener Kongress 1814/15", Vienna, Belvedere 2015, p. 156-65, here p. 157). It was in Vienna, where Lampi portrayed the Emperor and other members of the imperial family, that our impressive portrait was probably made. We are grateful to Dr. Roberto Pancheri, Trento, for confirming the attribution on the basis of digital photographs.

Johann Baptist Ritter von Lampi (1751-1830)-attibuted, Portrait of Count Zinzendorf, in standing position by a table with documents, a globe and an armchair, wearing the order and cape of the German Order in the background landscape view. Oil on canvas.Count Karl von Zinzendorf und Pottendorf (January 5, 1739 - January 5, 1813) was a Saxon-Austrian civil servant. He served the government of Austria in a variety of capacities, including as governor of Trieste, and rose to high rank at the Habsburg court. His massive diary, written daily over a period of about 66 years, is an important historical documentary source for his era, both in politics and in the arts.
Johann Baptist Lampi L'ancien (Rome 1751 Vienne 1830) attribué à « Portrait de Charles-Louis d'Autriche-Teschen (1771-1847), Archiduc d'Autriche, en armure, manteau d'hermine rouge portant le collier de l'Ordre de la Toison d'Or. » Huile sur toile de forme ovale, 61 x 48 cm Cadre en bois doré. Biographie : Charles-Louis d'Autriche (Florence, 5 septembre 1771 - Vienne, 30 avril 1847), archiduc d'Autriche, duc de Teschen, grand maître de l'ordre Teutonique (1801-1805), fils de Léopold II, empereur du Saint Empire (1747-1792) et de son épouse Marie-Louise de Bourbon, infante d'Espagne. C'est aussi le frère de François Ier, empereur d'Autriche. À la mort de son oncle (1822), Charles hérite du duché de Teschen. Il commence sa carrière militaire lors des guerres de la Révolution française. À peine âgé de 21 ans, le prince Charles reçoit le commandement de l'avant-garde de l'armée autrichienne sous les ordres du prince de Cobourg. Dans la seconde campagne, le jeune prince seconde avec talent les opérations du général Clerfayt. En 1795 il sert sur le Rhin, et les années suivantes, il est commandant en chef de toutes les forces autrichiennes sur ce front. Il conduit les opérations contre Jourdan et Moreau en 1796. Tombant sur Jourdan il le bat dans les batailles d'Amberg et de Würzbourg, le repoussant au-delà du Rhin et lui infligeant de lourdes pertes. Il se tourne alors sur l'armée de Moreau, qu'il défait et expulse d'Allemagne. Reçu triomphalement à Vienne, le prince Charles fut nommé généralissime des armées autrichiennes. Il rencontre alors son plus redoutable adversaire : le général Bonaparte, de deux ans son aîné, victorieux lors de la campagne d'Italie, qui allait franchir les Alpes nordiques et se précipiter sur Vienne. En 1797 il est envoyé pour arrêter la marche victorieuse de Bonaparte en Italie. Il engage avec lui sa première bataille sur les rives du Tagliamento, le 16 mars 1797, et lui oppose une résistance vigoureuse. Peu de jours après, au combat livré sur le col de Larvis, le prince affronte la mort avec un courage héroïque, et ne cède devant Masséna qu'après les efforts les plus opiniâtres. Le général Bonaparte offre la paix à son rival par une lettre célèbre qui témoigne de son admiration pour le prince. Quelques mois après, la paix de Campo-Formio était signée. Les victoires françaises le font bientôt rappeler au commandement de l'armée autrichienne, qui se trouvait alors désorganisée. La bataille de Hohenlinden oblige l'archiduc vaincu à demander l'armistice à Steyr, le 25 décembre. Sa popularité est cependant telle que la diète de Ratisbonne, réunie en 1802, propose d'ériger une statue en son honneur et de lui donner le titre de sauveur de la patrie, mais le héros de 31 ans refuse ces preuves ostentatoires de reconnaissance. Après la Paix de Presbourg, il est nommé chef du conseil aulique de guerre et généralissime des armées (Generalfeldmarschal). Profitant de son prestige - il est le seul général s'étant montré capable de battre les armées françaises - il lance des réformes de grande envergure qui remplacent les méthodes désuètes du XVIIIe siècle. La nouvelle armée est surprise, en pleine réorganisation, par la guerre de 1809. Les premiers succès sont neutralisés par les revers de la bataille d'Abensberg, Landshut et Eckmühl. Après l'évacuation de Vienne, ont lieu les terribles batailles d'Aspern-Essling et Wagram, à l'issue desquelles les Autrichiens, bien que vaincus, infligent à l'Empereur des Français une perte de plus de 50 000 hommes. Au combat sanglant d'Aspern, le courage de l'archiduc fait l'admiration de tous : chaque fois que l'archiduc voyait ses soldats fléchir, il sautait à bas de son cheval, saisissait un drapeau et les ramenait au combat. Le Chancelier prince de Metternich convainc alors l'Empereur de signer la paix de Schönbrunn. La nouvelle armée autrichienne a montré qu'elle était un adversaire plus redoutable que l'ancienne, face à l'armée trop hétérogène de Napoléon. Elle ne succombe qu'après une lutte désespérée. Cependant à la fin de la campagne, Charles, désavoué, renonce à toutes ses charges militaires. Sa dernière bataille est celle de Wagram. Il vécut dans la retraite, emportant avec lui le renom d'un grand capitaine. Comme son illustre rival Napoléon, il a retracé avec la plume les grandes choses qu'il avait exécutées avec l'épée, en consacrant une partie de ses loisirs à la composition de plusieurs ouvrages militaires fort estimés. L'archiduc Charles qui, mandataire de l'Empereur des Français, avait conduit à l'autel sa nièce, la jeune archiduchesse Marie-Louise d'Autriche devenue l'épouse de Napoléon, servit de guide et de protecteur au fils du grand homme qu'il avait combattu. Il entoura de soins et de conseils le duc de Reichstadt qui lui témoignait les sentiments d'une affection toute filiale. Heinrich Friedrich Füger (Heilbronn 1751-1818 Vienne) et son collègue Johann Baptist Lampi l'Ancien étaient les artistes les plus importants de la fin du 18ème siècle dans la monarchie autrichienne. Lampi peignit plusieurs portraits de nobles en armure lors de son séjour en Pologne entre 1788 - 1791 (Ksawery Branicki avec ses fils en 1791, Alupka, Schloßmnuseum,, Stanislaw Szczesny Potocki et ses fils vers 1788-1790, Varsovie, Musée Narodowe). Mais plus importants encore sont les portraits de la famille impériale que Jean Baptiste Lampi réalisa en 1808 au Château Laxenburg. Il travaille avec un grand réalisme. Comparé aux rares portraits de l'archiduc Karl réalisés à l'époque et après 1810, le portrait que nous présentons séduit par sa présence physique et émotionnel.

Oil on canvas Austria, 1824 Johann Baptist II von Lampi (1775-1837) - Austrian portrait and history painter On the reverse with former inscription 'Gemalt von Ritter v. Lampi Sohn. K. K. Mahler 1824.' This work is accompanied by a certificate by Dr. Robert Keil, Vienna, dated 04/06/2003 Dimensions: 78.5 x 63.5 cm Frame: 115.5 x 98 cm Good condition Fine Biedermeier half-length portrait of a lady in front of a landscape; similar portraits of the artist fetch up to €40,000 at international auctions Johann Baptist II von Lampi was a specialist in half-length portraits, which he usually plotted against a cloudy sky or scenic landscapes. The present lady's portrait is a decorative example of the painter's artistic output and impresses with regard to many details, such as the fine shades below the left arm and the delicate contrasts of the fabrics. Condition: The paint surface shows fine craquelure, under UV light inspection it reveals scattered areas of retouching to the chin, the neck and the dress of the figure, as well as to the lower edge. The canvas shows a number of restored tears on the reverse. The overall impression is, however, good considering the age. The stretcher measures 78.5 x 63.5 cm. The decorative stucco frame shows a number of smaller marks, especially in the upper left corner. The framed overall dimensions are 115.5 x 98 cm. Johann Baptist II von Lampi (1775-1837) Johann Baptist II von Lampi followed the example of his father, Johann Bapist I Lampi (1751-1830), and became one of the most considerable painters of the Biedermeier period. He was born in Trento and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, from 1786 to 1794, where he became a student of Hubert Maurer (1738-1818) and Heinrich Füger (1751-1818). Like his father, he moved to St. Petersburg in 1796, where he became an honorary member of the local Academy of Arts. Back in his hometown of Vienna, he gained popularity as a talented portrait painter and from 1813 he regularly exhibited his works as a member of the Viennese Academy. Examples of his works are preserved, for instance, at the Belvedere in Vienna and at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. (cbo) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.

Erzherzog Karl in Rüstung mit Hermelinumhang. Öl auf Leinwand, im Oval. 61 x 48 cm. Um 1810. Im Vergleich zu anderen Portraits des Erzherzogs Karl besticht dieses Werk durch seine außergewöhnliche physische und emotionale Präsenz. Wahrscheinlich entstand das Bildnis kurz nach der bedeutenden Schlacht bei Aspern im Mai 1809, in der Napoleon seine erste Niederlage erleiden musste. Dieser durch Erzherzog Karl herbeigeführte Sieg war von einer außerordentlich starken Symbolkraft geprägt, da damit die Unbesiegbarkeit Napoleons gebrochen war. Genau diese Kraft, Besonnenheit und Beharrlichkeit des Siegers von Aspern, der hier überzeitlich in einer historischen Rüstung dargestellt ist, drückt dieses außergewöhnliche Bildnis Lampis aus.
