Queen Theresa of Bavaria
(Born Princess of Saxe-Hildburghausen)
Artist: Joseph Karl Stieler (German, 1781–1858)
Title: German: Königin Therese von Bayern im Krönungsornat
Genre: Portrait
Style: Historical Period Neoclassicism - 1780-1820 & Romanticism - 1810-1870
Date: 1826
Collection: Neue Pinakothek, Munich, Germany
Queen Theresa (1792-1854) was a daughter of Frederick, Duke of Saxe-Altenburg, and Duchess Charlotte Georgine of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, eldest daughter of Charles II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. As a child she had grown up in the rather modest capital of her father’s small duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen, and not in his later capital of Altenburg, which he acquired after the Saxon dukes reorganised their states in 1826. In 1809, Theresa had been on the list of possible brides for Napoleon, but following the latter’s marriage to the Archduchess Marie-Louise, she married the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig, on 12 October 1810. Their wedding was the occasion of the first ever Oktoberfest, which has been repeated almost every year since.
Her husband succeeded as king in 1825 but his numerous love affairs caused her some pain, which she tolerated while refusing to allow his mistresses to attend her at court. On one occasion, in 1831, she left the capital to make her disapproval clear – nonetheless, despite the difficulties in their marriage she was the mother of nine children, the oldest, Maximilian, succeeding as king when Ludwig was deposed following the 1848 revolution. Therese proved to be a capable royal consort, heading the government during her husband’s frequent foreign trips, and having some considerable political influence. She was particularly popular with the Bavarian public and was considered the embodiment of an idealised image of queen, wife and mother and was involved in a great number of charitable organisations for widows, orphans and the poor. She was the object of great sympathy during her husband’s very public infidelity with the notorious courtesan, Lola Montez, which contributed to the demands for his abdication in 1848.
This painting must be particularly noted for the extraordinary attention to the queen’s silk embroidered robes, her bracelets, necklace and earrings and the splendid tiara placed alongside the royal crown. Her robe is embroidered with gold leaves and flowers and along the bottom edge the blue and silver diamond lozenges of the Wittelsbach arms are sewn into gold edged ovals. An ermine robe hangs from over her shoulder to the ground and in her left hand she holds a gold bejewelled fan. Despite its small scale this superbly executed portrait holds the viewer’s attention in every detail, and is a testament to the artist’s mastery of grand, royal portraiture.

William Fermor
Artist: Anton Raphael Mengs (German, 1728–1779)
Style: Neoclassicism
Genre: Portrait
Date: 1757
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
The eldest son of Henry Fermor of Tusmore, Oxfordshire, William Fermor (1737–1806) went on the Grand Tour in 1757–1758. Like other English visitors to Rome, he had his portrait painted by both Mengs and Pompeo Batoni: the latter portrait (1758) is now in the Kress Collection, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. His elegant costume is not masquerade dress, despite the old inscription. Mengs's portraits are sober and frank in approach, with a polished finish.

hi! re: your tags is romanticism also fascist in nature? do you know any readings about it by any chance? I know about neoclassicism. I've read generally about English and French Romanticism movements because some of the English romantics were taught in school and i developed a little bit of an interest but i would be really curious to know how you see the romantic movement if you feel like you wanna talk about it. Thank you!
ive mostly been studying german romanticism which the second movement of has a particularly conservative bend to it, although not necessarily inherently, but there is an interesting historical development of the relation of german romanticism to fascism and to irrational and esoteric beliefs in general
i was posting about this all the time in the last fall semester while i was writing a paper on german romanticism so if you go back in my blog archive to like september to december there are a lot of posts. i can compile some readings from my sources later tn
