Lot no. 176
Ferdinand Jagemann nach Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) Portrait Napoleon Bonaparte als Konsul Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert). 60 x 49,5 cm. Provenienz Ehemals Sammlung Krug von Nidda, Schloss Frohburg, Sachsen. Verso alter Klebezettel mit handschriftlicher Bezeichnung: „Napoleon / L [?] Jagemann pinxit / Paris“. Der in Weimar geborene Ferdinand Jagemann hielt sich von 1802 bis 1804 in Paris auf, wo er bei Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) studierte. In dieser Zeit dürfte unser Portrait Napoleons entstanden sein, dass sich an Davids berühmtem Gemälde „Napoleon überquert die Alpen“ orientiert. Dieses Gemälde existiert in fünf Versionen, die von 1800 bis 1802 entstanden, wobei das Exemplar in Schloss Malmaison vermutlich die erste Version darstellt. Unser Gemälde zeigt Napoleon jedoch nicht in der berühmten Pose auf einem sich aufbäumenden Pferd, sondern als Brustportrait in einer goldbestickten Uniform und einem rotem Umhang. Auf dem Kopf trägt er einen gleichfalls goldbestickten Zweispitz mit einer weiß-blau-roten Kokarde. Napoleon Bonaparte war von 1799 bis 1804 Erster Konsul der Französischen Republik, bevor er sich am 2. Dezember 1804 selbst zum Kaiser krönte. Nach seinem Paris-Aufenthalt kehrte Ferdinand Jagemann nach Weimar zurück und wurde dort ein beliebter Portraitmaler. Insbesondere seine Bildnisse von Goethe erlangten weite Bekanntheit. Friedrich Schiller zeichnete er auf dem Totenbett. Jagemann selber wurde nur 39 Jahre alt und starb 1820 in seiner Geburtsstadt Weimar. Ferdinand Jagemann, after Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte as Consu Oil on canvas (relined). 60 x 49.5 cm. An old label with a hand-written inscription to the reverse: "Napoleon / L [?] Jagemann pinxit / Paris". Ferdinand Jagemann was born in Weimar and resided in Paris from 1802 to 1804, where he studied under Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825). This portrait of Napoleon was presumably painted during this time. The piece is based upon David's famous work "Napoleon Crossing the Alps". Five versions of David's work exist, painted between 1800 and 1802, whereby the example in Malmaison Palace is thought to be the prime version. The present work does not depict Napoleon in the famous pose on a rearing horse, but in a shoulder-length portrait, dressed in a gold embroidered uniform and a red cloak. He wears a gold embroidered bicorne with a red, white, and blue cockade. Napoleon was First Consul of the French Republic from 1799 to 1804 before crowning himself Emperor on 2nd December 1804. Ferdinand Jagemann returned to Weimar following his Paris sojourn, and there became a popular portrait painter. His paintings of Goethe became particularly well-known, and he also painted Friedrich Schiller on his deathbed. Jageman only lived to become 39 years old, and died in his home town of Weimar in 1820.
