SELF-PORTRAIT AS DAVID WITH THE HEAD OF GOLIATH /1756/ by JOHANN ZOFFANY

Zoffany presents himself here in the act of David from the Bible holding the beheaded Goliath. This is a gesture symbolic of triumph over a fearsome foe, proof of the bravery and the righteousness of David.

Goliath's head, often portrayed grotesquely in art, represents victory over evil or adversity. In this case, it is symbolic of the victory that Zoffany would have achieved over the challenges he faced in his career or personal life.

Zoffany was known to struggle with self-identity regarding being an artist in England where other established artists were at the time. By depicting himself as David, he claims his place within this artistic canon and emphasizes his triumph over all the challenges he faced in his career.

Painted in the 18th century, at the height of the Enlightenment period,the composition expresses interest in biblical narratives and allegory associated with contemporary European artists. It echos the era's interest in individualism and the exploration of personal identity.

Duke Franz Stephan I of Lorraine (1708-1765)

Artist: Johann Zoffany (German, 1733–1810)

Genre: Portrait

Date: 1766-1767

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria

Description

Emperor Franz I Stephan, husband of Maria Theresa, appears here surrounded by objects that demonstrate his scientific and artistic interests: a telescope, an armillary sphere, shells, fossils and sawfish bones; a violin lies on open sheet music on an open coin cabinet; he holds a coin in his hands. The portrait was created after the death of Franz I Stephan and is based on portraits by the court painter Martin van Meytens. Nevertheless, Zoffani completely reshaped the late Baroque decorative models in the spirit of a new early classicist portrait ideal.

تقدم لوحة اليوم مكاناً معروفاً لكل محب للفن، قاعة عرض أوفيزي.

بدأ يوهان زوفاني، وهو رسام ألماني المولد عمل في إنجلترا، بتلقي تكليف من الملك جورج الثالث والملكة شارلوت من الملكية الهانوفرية في عام ١٧٦٤. بناءاً على طلب الملكة، تم تكليف زوفاني برسم قاعة عرض أوفيزي، والتي تلقى مقابلها ٣٠٠ جنيه إسترليني. يعرض العمل الفني قاعة عرض الأوفيزي، وهي غرفة مثمنة صممها بيرناردو بونتالينتي عام ١٥٨٤، تحتوي على بعض أقدم القطع وأكثرها قيمة لعصر النهضة في القرن الثامن عشر، كما تخدم كمزار محوري في الجولة الكبرى.

عوضاً عن تقديم وصف دقيق للأعمال الفنية المعروضة في قاعة العرض خلال سبعينات القرن الثامن عشر، تمثل لوحة زوفاني مجموعة مختارة بعناية لما يمكن إعتباره أكثر القطع تميزاً من مجموعة ميديتشي. لتحقيق هذه الرؤية، عمل على نقل العديد من الأعمال الفنية من أماكن مختلفة في أوفيزي وسبع لوحات من قاعة عرض بالاتين في قصر بيتي إلى قاعة أوفيزي.

هل تعلم أسماء اللوحات أو هل تستطيع التعرف على رساميها؟
