About the Item
Important 18th century German portrait by the female master painter Anna Rosina de Gasc depicting Sophie of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel
Anna Rosina was born in 1713 into a family of painters of Polish noble origin in Berlin. Her mother was Maria Elizabeth Kahl from Pomerania. Her father, Georg Lisiewski (1674–1751), taught painting to Rosina and her siblings Anna Dorothea (1721–1782) and Christoph Friedrich (1725–1794). She later studied with the painter Antoine Pesne and learned his style of painting. In 1757, Rosina was appointed as court painter by Frederick Augustus of Anhalt-Zerbst. During her ten-year stay at the court, she painted a gallery of forty ladies. Later, she moved to the ducal court in Brunswick, where she received a generous grant from Duchess Philippine Charlotte of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Her work is held in the permanent collections of several museums worldwide, including the Kunsthistorisches Museum,[2] the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the National Museum, Warsaw.
Sophie Karoline Marie (1737-1817) was a daughter of Duke Charles I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and a younger sister of Anna Amalia of Weimar. In 1758 she married Margrave Friedrich III of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, who before had been married in his first marriage to Wilhelmine of Prussia, a sister of Frederick the Great. Her husband died after only three years of marriage and Sophie Karoline Marie moved to Erlangen, where she had her widow's seat for 53 years as the "Erlanger Markgräfin". Prof. Helmut Börsch-Supan attributes this portrait to Barbara Rosina Lisiewska-de Gasc, a daughter of the Prussian court painter Georg Lisiewski, who taught her painting along with her siblings Anna Dorothea and Christoph Friedrich. Barbara Rosina Lisiewska was first married to the painter David Matthieu, after his death to Ludwig de Gasc, court assessor in Berlin and professor of French literature in Braunschweig. Prof. Börsch-Supan succeeded in identifying the sitter on the basis of a portrait of Sophie Karoline Marie by Johann Georg Ziesenis (cf. Karin Schrader: Der Bildnismaler Johann Georg Ziesenis (1716-1776), Münster 1995, no. 158, with two workshop replicas no. 158a and 158b), which was formerly housed in Blankenburg Palace and was sold at Sotheby's major auction in Marienburg Palace in 2005. According to this, the present painting, which Prof. Börsch-Supan dates to the time shortly before the marriage of the Brunswick princess to the Bayreuth margrave in 1759 or at the latest before his death in 1763, was the model for the portrait by the Hanoverian court painter Ziesenis.
For the attribution and identification of the sitter, we would like to thank Prof. Dr. Helmut Börsch-Supan, Berlin
