A very unusual self-portrait of a painter with a very unusual career - the painting shown here is a speciality in terms of both art and military history. After his initial training at the art academy in Zurich, Carl Wilhelm von Heideck transferred to the Munich Military Academy. He made a career in the Bavarian army and went to Greece in 1826, where he was later awarded citizenship for his services. In addition to these successes, he always remained active as a painter; a dual role that he also very skilfully expresses in his self-portrait, in which both the painter in civilian clothes and the officer in uniform are looking at us.
