Lot 1776 | Johann Heinrich Christian Franke
(1738 Havelberg - 1792 Berlin) Werkstatt Bildnis des preußischen Kürassiergenerals Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz nach der Schlacht bei Roßbach Fast ganzfiguriges Porträt des berühmten Feldherrn König Friedrich II. von Preußen als Chef des von ihm befehligten Kürassierregiments Nr. 8 in korrespondierender Uniform mit Kommandostab in seiner rechten Hand. Seydlitz (1721 - 1773) trägt die ihm am 5. November 1757 in Anerkennung seines Sieges verliehenen Hohen Orden vom Schwarzen Adler an der orangeroten Schärpe. Hinter ihm ruht ein Husar des Husaren-Regiments Nr. 1, das einen Anteil am Sieg hatte, über seine Arme gelegt der blaue Uniformrock des Feldherrn mit dem Bruststern des Schwarzen Adler-Ordens. Im Hintergrund eine angedeutete Schlachtenszene. Auf das vorliegende Porträt (oder eine weitere Version) musste später der Hofbildhauer Pierre-Antoine Tassaert zurückgreifen, als er 1789 die posthume Marmorstatue des Generals schuf (heute im Bode-Museum). Franke, der bei Anna Dorothea Therbusch (Lisiewska) gelernt hatte, wurde nach dem Siebenjährigen Krieg ein gefragter Porträtist. Zu seinem bekanntesten Werk wurde sein um 1764 entstandenes Bildnis des mit dem Dreispitz grüßenden Friedrich II., das in zahlreichen Repliken überliefert ist. Öl/Lwd., doubl.; 79 cm x 64 cm. Rahmen. Beigefügt Gutachten von Prof. Dr. Helmut Börsch-Supan, 30.05.2008.

Studio of Johann Heinrich Christian Franke (1738 - 1792). Oil on canvas, relined. Accompanied by an expertise from Prof. Dr. Helmut Börsch-Supan, 30th of May 2008.
