Portrait

Gemälde, Zeichnungen u. Grafiken 16. bis 19. Jhd. – Privatsammlung, Remscheid. - Mit dem Bildnis seiner Ehefrau Isabella Telghuys, das Nicaise de Keyser 1838 anfertigte, steht der Maler ganz in der Tradition der Belgischen Portraitkunst der frühen Nationalstaatszeit nach 1830, als sich das junge Königreich kulturell profilierte. Dabei spielte die Malerei eine zentrale Rolle für die bürgerliche Repräsentation und nationale Identität. Besonders Aspekte wie Würde, Bildung, Bescheidenheit und moralische Integrität stellen dabei die bürgerlichen Ideale dar, die de Keyser im Portrait seiner Frau mittels der ausgewogenen Komposition mit reduzierter Farbigkeit und der ruhigen kontrollierten Haltung der Dargestellten aufgreift, die zudem ein Buch in den Händen hält. - Partiell leicht angestaubt sowie mit zartem Craquelée, vereinzelte winzige Farbabplatzungen. Verso mit Spuren früherer Restaurierung. Insgesamt sehr gut.

Paintings, drawings and prints 16th to 19th century – Oil on canvas. Dated and titled. Partially slightly dusty and with delicate craquelure, isolated tiny paint flakes. Overall very good. - Private Collection, Remscheid, Germany. - With his portrait of his wife Isabella Telghuys, painted in 1838, Nicaise de Keyser follows in the tradition of Belgian portraiture from the early days of the nation state after 1830, when the young kingdom was establishing its cultural identity. Painting played a central role in bourgeois representation and national identity. Aspects such as dignity, education, modesty and moral integrity represent the bourgeois ideals that de Keyser captures in his portrait of his wife through the balanced composition with reduced colouring and the calm, controlled posture of the subject, who is also holding a book in her hands.
