List of works by Anton Graff

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Graff (1736–1813) was a Swiss painter who worked for the greater part of his artistic life as a Saxon court painter at the Dresden Art Academy . He was a master of portrait art in the classicism of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and was groundbreaking for the further development of this profession. Graff created almost two thousand works, of which about 1250 paintings, as well as numerous replicas and several hundred drawings. Occasionally he also painted landscapes.

Sulzer appears in a short bust, his head almost in profile, without a wig and with short hair. The color is limited to a warm brown, the upper body is strictly subordinate to the face in terms of brightness.

He is not very satisfied with his picture of Graff. He fetched it for me and made me compare it with him. He says that it looks like an Italian abbe. "

Graff's biographer Ulrich Hegner wrote in 1815 in the XI. New Year's piece of the Zürcher Künstler-Gesellschaft (p. 15) about the last self-portrait: “Only a few months before his end he was still painting his own picture, which in terms of mental treatment and resemblance is inferior to none, although more with the eyes of the mind than with the physical sight taken and thrown down with a trembling hand.
