Self-portrait new21/MEYTENS, Martin van-749338.jpg Painting ID:: 63071 |
1740s Oil on canvas, 65 x 50,2 cm Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest Meytens's earliest self-portrait, a young painter's portrait with a turban, in the painters' gallery of Florences's Uffizi, was made during his Italian residence in 1727. This was followed in 1735 by a half-figure self-portrait, which can be found in two versions, in Sibiu's Muzeul Brukenthal, and in Ludwigsburg Gallery. The Budapest self-portrait belongs to a later period, and shows a slightly changed, somewhat more corpulent man. His face is still youthfully smooth, but already fattish, and he wears an Allonge-wig. His pose refers to his courtly position and special honours. A gold chain on his breast holds the medal he got in 1730 from Frederic, King of Sweden during his activity in Stockholm, and he ostentatiously shows with his right hand the medallion portrait of Empress Maria Theresia. Another half-figure portrait, now kept in the Viennese Gem?ldegalerie der Akademie der bildenden K?nste, as well as a painting in a Stockholm private collection, show the master some years older and of even more authority. Compared to these portraits and to the one engraved by Johann Gottfried Haid in 1756, our painting can probably be ascribed to the 1740s.

Empress Maria Theresa new21/MEYTENS, Martin van-828237.jpg Painting ID:: 63072 |
Oil on canvas Town Hall, Ghent This portrait of the Empress is in the reception salon of the Ghent Town Hall. The dress of Flemish lace that she is wearing was a gift to her from the states of Flanders. The dress was made by Ghent orphans. Out of gratitude for this expensive present, Maria Theresa allowed her portrait to be painted by her court painter, Martin van Meytens, after which the completed work was handed over to the members of the states.
