FERDINAND KELLER 1842 Karlsruhe - 1922 Baden-Baden PROBABLY PORTRAIT OF THE TSARINA ALEXANDRA FYODOROVNA (ALIX OF HESSE-DARMSTADT) (1872-1918) WITH A RUSSIAN BORZOI, 1905 Oil on panel, on panel. 97 x 114 (F. 113 x 132 cm). Signed and dated lower right 'Ferdinand Keller 1905'. Part. min. rest., lower left slight scratch mark. Frame. The painting was probably created as a topos in the artist's studio after photographic models of Tsarina Alexandra Fyodorovna. The resemblance to the empress is striking. However, the portrait is certainly not to be regarded as an official state portrait, but rather as a creative reflex and an examination of the image of the self-confident lady of the upper class. The Russian Borzoi at her side refers here emphatically to the origin of the portraits and is at the same time the artistic encounter with the prevailing taste of the time in the early 20th century. Exhibited: Baden-Baden 1909: German Art Exhibition, Cat. No. 211, Fig. 17. Karlsruhe 1912: Exhibition in honour of the 70th birthday of Professor Dr. Ferdinand Keller. In the exhibition catalogue 1912 Clara Müller (née Fecht, 1854 - 1923), wife of Max Müller (1849-1910, owner of the court printing office, since 1897 commercial councillor in Karlsruhe) is mentioned as the owner. Literature: F.W. Gaertner, 1912, p. 113, fig. 38. Michael Koch. Ferdinand Keller: (1842-1922) : Leben u. Werk, 1978, Cat. No. 355. Provenance: South German private collection. Previously owned by a castle or nobility in southern Germany.
FERDINAND KELLER 1842 Karlsruhe - 1922 Baden-Baden WOHL BILDNIS DER ZARIN ALEXANDRA FJODOROWNA (ALIX VON HESSEN-DARMSTADT) (1872-1918) MIT EINEM RUSSISCHEN BORZOI, 1905 Öl auf Platte, auf Platte. 97 x 114 (R. 113 x 132 cm). Signiert und datiert unten rechts 'Ferdinand Keller 1905'. Part. min. rest., unten links leichte Kratzspur. Rahmen. Das Gemälde wurde wahrscheinlich als Topos im Atelier des Künstlers nach fotografischen Vorlagen der Zarin Alexandra Fjodorowna geschaffen. Die Ähnlichkeit zu der Kaiserin ist frappierend. Das Bildnis ist jedoch sicherlich nicht als offizielles Staatsportrait zu werten, sondern ist wahrschenlich eher als ein gestalterischer Reflex und eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Bild der selbstbewußten Dame des gehobenen Standes zu sehen. Der russische Borzoi an ihrer Seite verweist hierbei mit Nachdruck auf die Herkunft der Dargestellen und ist aber auch gleichzeitig die künstlerische Begegnung mit dem vorherrschenden Zeitgeschmack des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Ausst.: Baden-Baden 1909: Deutsche Kunstausstellung, Kat. Nr. 211, Abb. 17. Karlsruhe 1912: Ausstellung zu Ehren des 70. Geburtstages von Professor Dr. Ferdinand Keller. Im Ausstellungskatalog 1912 wird Clara Müller (geb. Fecht, 1854-1923), Frau von Max Müller (1849 - 1910, Hofdruckereibesitzer, seit 1897 Kommerzialrat in Karlsruhe) als Besitzerin genannt. Literatur: F.W. Gaertner, 1912, S. 113, Abb. 38. Michael Koch. Ferdinand Keller: (1842-1922) : Leben u. Werk, 1978, Kat. Nr. 355. Provenienz: Süddeutsche Privatsammlung. Zuvor süddeutscher Schloss- bzw. Adelsbesitz.
