Portrait of Alexander Suvorov (1730-1800), oil on panel Studio of Johann Heinrich Schmidt (circa 1741-1821), Portrait of Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov (1730-1800), oil on panel with a feigned oval, 31.4 x 25.4 cm (12 3/8 x 10 ins), ornate gilded frame with moulded vine, honeysuckle and egg and dart motifs (48.5 x 42 cm) QTY: (1) NOTE: This work is a well-executed version in oil of the the pastel drawn from life in 1800, in Prague, by Johann Heinrich Schmidt, four months prior to the death of Alexander Suvorov, the last lifetime portrait of the commander. He is dressed in the white Austrian uniform of a field marshal. The original pastel portrait is now in the collection of the Hermitage (inventory no. ???-3766). For another version by Schmidt, also in oval format, see Neil Jeffares, pastellists.com online catalogue J662.227). Alexander Suvorov was a sickly child, due to this his father had assumed that as an adult Suvorov would work in the civil service. Suvorov learned to read French, German, Polish, and Italian, and devoted himself to intense study of several military authors including Plutarch, Quintus Curtius, Cornelius Nepos, Julius Caesar, and Charles XII. A meeting between Suvorov and General Gannibal persuaded Suvorov's father to allow him to pursue a career in the military. Suvorov entered the army in 1748 and served in the Semyonovsky Life Guard Regiment for six years. After repeatedly distinguishing himself in battle Suvorov became a colonel in 1762, aged around 33. He is traditionally remembered as an unbeated military leader managing 93 battles and never being beaten. His name lives on in numerous tributes to him such as the Suvorov museum in St Petersburg, The Order of Suvorov - a military award for successful offensive actions against superior enemy forces, the town of Suvorovo in Varna Province, Bulgaria, the Russian ship which discovered Suwarrow Island in the Pacific in 1814 and numerous monuments.

Johann Heinrich Schmidt

Johann Heinrich Schmidt (1749 Hildburghausen - 1829 Dresden) Seltener historisch bedeutender Satz von drei Porträts der sächsischen Kurfürsten- und Königsfamilie Die 1770 entstandenen, in virtuoser Feinmalerei ausgeführten, repräsentativen, höfischen Rokoko-Porträts stellen die Kurfürstin Maria Antonia v.

Bei den Bildnissen handelt es sich um frühe Werke des auch in Frankreich und Russland tätigen, auf Pastellporträts spezialisierten, sächsischen Hofmalers.
