Franz von Lenbach
Ernst von Possart as King Richard III
Estate stamp with number 63 and confirmation of authenticity by Lolo von Lenbach, Munich, 22 February 1937. Oil auf canvas. 117.5 x 100.5 cm. Restored. Minor damage to frame (129.5 x 113.5 cm).

Franz von Lenbach erlangte als Porträtmaler in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts europaweit höchste Anerkennung. Ungeachtet des repäsentativen Charakters sind seine Porträts immer auch intime psychologische Studien. Der Hofschauspieler Ernst Heinrich Possart (1841-1921, 1897 von Prinzregent Luitpold von Bayern in den Adelsstand erhoben) zählte zu den populärsten Bühnenschauspielern seiner Zeit. Die Rolle des englischen Königs Richard III. im gleichnamigen Stück von William Shakespeare war eine seiner Paraderollen, in der er sich in den 1880er Jahren mehrfach porträtieren liess. Franz von Lenbach zeigt in diesem pathosgeladenen und zugleich subtilen Bildnis die Angst und Anspannung des in List und Mord verstrickten Richard.
