Johann c. 1810

This portrait, "Johann", was painted by Johann Baptist von Lampi the Elder, a renowned Austrian portrait painter, around 1810. The work showcases Lampi's signature style, which involved capturing the sitter's likeness with meticulous detail while also conveying their personality and social standing. The subject, Johann, is depicted in a formal pose, dressed in a dark blue coat and white cravat, his gaze directed towards the viewer. This portrait exemplifies the Neoclassical trend in portraiture of the early 19th century, characterized by its emphasis on clarity, precision, and idealized beauty.
