Wilhelm von Kobell (1766 - 1853) - Die Revue von Kalisch, 1835
Aquarell auf Papier und über Holz, rechts unten monogrammiert "W.K.". Eindrucksvoll gemalte Szene der gemeinsam von Preußen und Russland bei Kalisch in Kongresspolen abgehaltenen Heerschau. Im Zentrum zu Pferd die Heerführer Zar Nikolaus I. von Russland und Prinz Wilhelm von Preußen (späterer König und Kaiser Wilhelm I.), dahinter die russischen Truppen in Marschformation mit Trommlern vorneweg sowie die preußischen Truppen in Paradeformation. Im Vordergrund grüßende polnische Zivilbevölkerung. Unter Glas in preußischem Rahmen mit Vergoldung über Kreidegrund und rotem Bolus, am Unterrand Plakette mit Namen und Lebensdaten des Malers. Bildmaße 38,5 x 51 cm, Rahmenmaße 48 x 60,5 cm. Rückseitig Etikett einer Düsseldorfer Kunsthandlung sowie ein alter (Auktions-?)Text mit Provenienzbezeichnung "Sammlung: A.v. Baviez".
Die Revue von Kalisch 1835 war eher ein öffentlicher Schulterschluss zwischen Preußen und Russland sowie eine Machtdemonstration der beiden Mächte an dem Ort, wo sie 22 Jahre zuvor auch das Bündnis gegen Napoleon geschlossen hatten. Insgesamt nahmen über 60.000 Soldaten mit 7.000 Pferden und 136 Kanonen teil.
Wilhelm von Kobell wurde von seinem Vater, dem Landschaftsmaler Ferdinand Kobell, sowie an der Mannheimer Zeichnungsakademie ausgebildet. Er wurde um 1792 Hofmaler des Kurfürsten Karl Theodor von Bayern, war von 1814-26 Professor an der Münchner Akademie und wurde 1817 in den Adelsstand erhoben.

The Kalisch Review of 1835 was a public display of the solidarity between Prussia and Russia as well as a demonstration of power by the two military players at the place where they had concluded the alliance against Napoleon 22 years previously. Over 60,000 soldiers took part, along with 7,000 horses and 136 cannons.
Wilhelm von Kobell was trained by his father, landscape painter Ferdinand Kobell, and studied at the Mannheim Drawing Academy. He was appointed court painter to Charles Theodore, Prince Elector of Bavaria, in 1792, served as professor at the Munich Academy from 1814 to 1826 and was elevated to the nobility in 1817.
