Summary

[edit]
Description

One of the few author's own replicas of his miniature portrait of Maximilian III Joseph, Elector (Kurfuerst) of Bavaria. For other replicas, see our images nr.11-15.

After the death of his parents, George Desmarées (1697 Osterby - 1776 Munich) traveled to Stockholm where he became a pupil of van Meytens. From about 1720, he worked in Sweden as a portrait painter in oils and as a miniaturist. In 1724, he left for Amsterdam and Nurnberg where he attended the Academy. In the following year, he was a pupil of Piazetta in Venice. During his stay in Italy, which lasted about three years, he also painted miniatures. In 1728, he returned to Augsburg and was summoned to Munich in 1730 by the Elector Karl Albrecht, who appointed him "Kurfürstlicher Hofmaler". Afterwards, he worked for different German courts: among others, for the Elector of Mainz, but always returned to Munich.

The sitter is depicted with the sash and star of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and jewel of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
