Princess Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse (1843-1878)

Artist: Joseph Hartmann (German, 1812-1885)

Date: 1879

Medium: OIl on canvas

Collection: Royal Trust Collection, United Kingdom

Description

Princess Alice (1843-78) was the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Known for her sweet nature, she often took on the role of peacekeeper in the royal household. The marriage of her older sister, Princess Victoria, in 1858 left Alice as the eldest daughter at home, and the Queen and Prince Albert both turned to her for company. In a popular edition of Alice's letters to the Queen, published in 1885, Princess Helena, her sister, described her as ‘loving Daughter and Sister, the devoted Wife and Mother, and a perfect, true Woman’. In 1862 she married Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse.

In this portrait the Princess appears in evening dress with the badges of the Orders of Victoria and Albert, the Crown of India, and Louise of Prussia.

Princess Alice with her sister Victoria, Crown Princess of Prussia, Berlin, 1865.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, January 29, 1865 | The journey went off very well, and we are so happy to be here. Vicky and Fritz are kindness itself, and Vicky so dear, so loving! I feel it does me good, that there is a reflection of Papa's great mind in her. He loved her so much, and was so proud of her.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, February 4, 1865 | I have not been sight-seeing anywhere, as it is too cold for that. We drive in a shut carriage, and then walk in the Thiergarten. We spend the whole day together, which is a great enjoyment to me, and of an evening we go out together. It is pleasant to have a sister to go out with, and all the people are so kind and civil to us.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, February 14, 1965 | We leave next Saturday. I shall be so sorry to leave dear Vicky, for she is often so much alone. Fritz is really so excellent, it is a pleasure to look at his dear good face; and he is worked so hard - no health can stand it in the long run.

Alice to Queen Victoria, Berlin, 17 February 1865 | This will be my last letter from here, and I only regret leaving here on account of parting with dear Vicky and Fritz, whom we see so rarely, and usually but for a short time. I have spent such pleasant hours with dear Vicky: that is what I shall look back to with so much pleasure and satisfaction.

“I could not choose for a sister-in-law anyone I like better than Louise. She will make Arthur a most delightful wife. Each is the complement of the other, and I foresee that each will make the other supremely happy.”

—the German Crown Princess, (nee Victoria, Princess Royal) on the fiancée of her younger brother Prince Arthur: Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia.

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

Spread among 13 occupied and historic royal residences in the United Kingdom, the collection is owned by King Charles III and overseen by the Royal Collection Trust. The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.

Some of the buildings which house the collection, such as Hampton Court Palace, are open to the public and not lived in by the Royal Family, whilst others, such as Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the most remarkable of them, Buckingham Palace are both residences and open to the public.

Some paintings in the previews look blurry but in the game they're very high definition, it's just because I had to add multiple preview pictures in one picture to be able to upload them all! Also sizes shown in previews are not accurate to the objects' actual sizes in most cases.

Anna Elisabeth Auguste Alexandrine, Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was half sister to Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna of Russia (Grand Duchess Vladimir),  cousin to Victoria, Ella, Irene and Alix of Hesse, and aunt to princess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (future crown princess of Prussia). Anna died when she was 16.

"My grandfather’s second marriage was terminated by the early death of the Grand Duchess, formerly Princess Anna of Hessen-Darmstadt, when her first child, a daughter, was born. Her daughter too died at an early age, when she was only sixteen ; she was worshipped in our family almost like a young saint".

The memoirs of the Crown Princess Cecilie

"...there was one daughter, Anna, who married the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin as his second wife, and died in childbirth. They had only one little girl, Annchen, who died at 16. This was a very delicate and nervous child. We used to play with her when she paid her yearly visit to my grandparents but we were so much more robust than she and so wild that my grandmother used always to forbid us exciting her".

Coronation of the King of Prussia, 18 October 1861: The Crown Princess Doing Homage

Artist: George Housman Thomas (British, 1824-68)

Date: Exhibited 1863

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, United Kingdom

Depicted People:

Empress Friedrich, German Empress and Queen of Prussia

Princess Marie of Prussia

William I, Emperor of Germany & King of Prussia

Empress Augusta of Germany

Frederick III, German Emperor

Description

The Coronation of the King and Queen of Prussia took place in the chapel of the Schloss at Königsberg, the first coronation in Prussia for 160 years. The Times newspaper described the occasion, noting how canopies had been placed on two columns facing the altar above the platforms on which the King and Queen stood. After the ceremony of the crowning they received homage. The Crown Prince approached his mother and the Crown Princess, Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter who had married the Crown Prince in 1858, knelt before the King – the moment depicted in this painting. The British Ambassador reported to Queen Victoria ‘the exquisite grace and the intense emotion with which Her Royal Highness gave effect to her feelings on the occasion’. The Crown Princess wrote to her mother describing the ceremony: ‘the Chapel is in itself lovely – with a gt deal of gold about it and all hung with red velvet and gold – the carpet, altar, thrones and canopies the same – the Knights of the black eagle with red velvet cloaks – the Queen’s 4 young ladies all alike in white & gold’. The artist experienced the usual difficulties of getting sittings for the portraits of those present at the Coronation and getting access to the royal robes and regalia, but before the ceremony he had made a finished drawing of the Chapel from a ‘nice little platform which had been erected for him’ according to his wife, who accompanied him to Germany. 2.5cm at the bottom edge is unpainted and inscribed with numbers, as if for a key to some of the figures. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1863.
