Portrait of Stanislaus Augustus Poniatowski in Coronation Robes

Artist: Marcello Bacciarelli  (Italian, 1731–1818) 

Genre: Portrait

Date: About 1790

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: National Museum in Krakow

Description

Stanisław August (Stanislaus Augustus) Poniatowski was elected king of Poland in 1764. Especially at the beginning of his reign, he was neither very popular with the nobility nor as influential as his rich family, the Czartoryski Familia. Therefore, he needed a formal portrait emphasizing the special significance of his person as the king of Poland and strengthening the conviction about the lawfulness of his rule, actually assumed with the considerable support of Russia.

“Portrait in Coronation Robes” earned Bacciarelli enormous success. The artist became the court painter, and it seems that it was mainly thanks to this work that he was raised to the nobility in 1768. The portrait became the model for a painting hung in 1771 in the Marble Room of the Royal Castle in Warsaw.

So. Earlier Today I posted an old gag piece of mine that was Fred from SpongeBob as a Tsar of Russia (Can't remember if the reference image was Nicholas II, or one of the Alexanders). Unfortunately, I got inspired. I spent two hours and eighteen minutes creating a follow-up. So here's Harold as Stanislaw August of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

"Portrait of a Young Man"

by Marcello Bacciarelli, 1789

[my-deer-friend]

I mean, look at him??

The melancholic portrait of Poland’s last king was painted after the second partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1793). Visible on the side of the table is a Latin inscription reading “Quaesivit coelo Lucem" (“[she] sought high heaven’s light") taken from Book IV of Virgil’s Aeneid. The quote relates to the fate of Dido, the mythical queen of Carthage, who took her own life after being abandoned by Aeneas. Perhaps, this is an allusion to Stanisław August’s despair following the betrayal by Catherine the Great, whose image appears on the monarch’s signet ring.

Prince Józef on paintings as a child

Good evening, dear friends, and on occasion of the children’s day let me share paintings where prince Józef Poniatowski is depicted as a child.

1. Prince Józef, his sister, their mother and the king Stanisław August, a detail of Bernardo Belotto’s image View of Warsaw from the Terrace of the Royal Castle, 1773

The whole painting below, with the group of Poniatowski’s on the right encircled in red:

2. Prince Jòzef (in red) and his sister (in green) on horseback, a detail of the painting by same author, named View of Wilanów meadows, 1775:

Whole picture:

3. Colonel Piotr Königsfels teaching Prince Józef Poniatowski how to ride, an image by Bellotto (again), 1773:

A close-up of Pepi:

4. A photo of the painting by Marcello Bacciarelli, named Apotheosis of the Parents of Stanislaus Augustus, circa 1768 (the painting itself is, alas, lost during the WWII):

Pepi:

5. And two miniatures by the Pierre Adolf Hall, sold a couple of years ago at Sothebys, signed as Portrait of a young boy, traditionally identified as Prince Joseph Poniatowski:

(They are dated as 1785, but if the model is in fact prince Józef the date should be at least 10 years before)

Stanisław August Poniatowski

Stanisław August [Stanislaus Augustus] Poniatowski was elected king of Poland in 1764. Especially at the beginning of his reign, he was neither very popular with the nobility nor as influential as his rich family, the Czartoryski Familia. Therefore, he needed a formal portrait emphasizing the special significance of his person as the king of Poland and strengthening the conviction about the lawfulness of his rule, actually assumed with the considerable support of Russia. Moreover, European courts, for example in Vienna and Versailles, were interested in possessing a portrait of the new Polish king. The newly elected monarch sought a talented portraitist, familiar with the latest trends in Western European art, who would be able to paint a splendid formal portrait. He wished to entrust this task to Marcello Bacciarelli, an Italian painter who had stayed at the court of Augustus III the Saxon in Warsaw for several years, leaving in the country a large number of excellent portraits of aristocrats. The king did not want to be portrayed in armor, but in the formal dress that he was wearing during the coronation ceremony: a coat lined with ermine fur, decorated with Polish eagles, a frock coat and trousers, with his hand rested against the baton of the military commander and royal regalia lying on the table beside him. Taking the king's instructions into consideration, Bacciarelli painted the portrait following the en gala pattern dating back to the time of the French absolute rulers, but in the more recent Rococo style. The king's pose was light, refined, elegant and graceful, which was in tune with the fashion of the day. The monarch noted down in his diary that the portrait caught the best likeness of him.
