Wilhelm Vita, Austrian 1846-1919- A family gathering; oil on canvas, signed and datedï¿½'WVita 1884.'ï¿½(lower right), 100 x 157 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK.; Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 15 December 2021, lot 33. Literature: Heinrich Fuchs,ï¿½Die ï¿½sterreichischen Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts,ï¿½Vienna, 1974, vol.4, p.K108. Note: The present work exemplifies Vitaï¿½s skill as a portrait painter, with the exquisite attention to detail given to each sitter combined with the subtle suggestion of the relationships between family members. Vitaï¿½s canvas very much continues in the vein of the 18th-century British tradition of conversation pieces by artists including Johann Zoffany, RA (1733-1810) and Philippe Mercier (1689-1760) and in this way he is imbuing his sitters with a sense of grandeur and gravity. At the same time, however, he gestures towards their more informal relationship as a family unit, with his sitters engaged in their, albeit refined, leisurely and domestic pursuits. The highly-detailed scene is testament to Vitaï¿½s skill as a painter, with his depiction of a lavish interior decorated with rich fabrics and shining gilt recalling the minutely-finished genre scenes of Dutch interior painters such as Gerard ter Borch (1617-1681) and Pieter de Hooch (1629-1684). Amongst his Vitaï¿½s sitters include the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef and the Crown Prince Rudolf. Please refer to department for condition report
