Christoph Friedrich Reinhold Lisiewsky
Christoph Friedrich Reinhold Lisiewsky , also Lisiewski , often mistakenly Christian Friedrich Reinhold L. (baptized June 3, 1725 in Berlin , † June 11, 1794 in Ludwigslust ) was a German painter .
Life
Christoph Friedrich Reinhold Lisiewsky belonged to a family of painters that his Polish father Georg Lisiewski had founded in Berlin. Lisiewsky was court painter to the Princes of Anhalt-Dessau from 1752 to 1772 . At that time he also traveled to Dresden and Leipzig to portray merchants and theologians (including Johann Sebastian Bach ). He then ran a studio in Berlin with his sister Anna Dorothea Therbusch from 1773 to 1779, in which joint work was also carried out. His other sister was the portrait painter Anna Rosina de Gasc . After a creative period of seven years, he moved further north in 1778: As the successor to his nephew Georg David Matthieu , he became a portrait painter at the Mecklenburg-Schwerin court in Ludwigslust. He worked there for 18 years - until his death. His daughter is the painter Friederike Julie Lisiewski .
From today's point of view, Lisiewsky is convincing with his novel, completely independent way of representation, also in comparison with other great portrait painters of the 18th century - like Antoine Pesne before and Anton Graff after him. His conception of portraits gradually broke away from the baroque stereotypes of staging and idealization. Lisiewsky practiced the transition to classicism at an early stage through his realistic, sometimes naturalistic lecture. His meticulous and elaborate way of working, described by those portrayed, the brilliantly elaborated materiality and the exact reproduction of the characteristic physiognomy, body volume and posture lead to an almost tangible presence of the depicted.
In 1783 he became an honorary member of the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin . His efforts to be accepted as court painter in Berlin, however, were unsuccessful. This may have been due to his productivity: the models had to be available to him for 24 days.
