Portrait after Franz Josef Winter, Clemens August of Bavaria, Archbishop Cologne

circa 1720

About the Item

Clemens August Ferdinand Maria Hyazinth, Duke of Bavaria (* August 16, 1700 in Brussels; † February 6, 1761 in Koblenz) was as Clemens August I from 1723 to 1761 Archbishop of Cologne and thus at the same time Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, sovereign of the associated archdiocese as well as the tributary lands of Recklinghausen and Westphalia. In addition, he was Legatus natus of the Holy Apostolic See in Rome and Archchancellor of Imperial Italy. Furthermore, he combined the offices of Grand Master of the Teutonic Order (1732-1761), Prince-Bishop of Regensburg (1716-1719), Paderborn (1719-1761), Münster (1719-1761), Hildesheim (1724-1761) and Osnabrück (1728-1761) as well as other ecclesiastical dignities. Clemens August, contemporarily called Monsieur des cinq églises (Lord of the Five Churches) because of his episcopal sees, was one of the most important ecclesiastical princes of the empire of his time. His foreign policy was characterized by the fact that he frequently changed his alliance partners. He is remembered by posterity as a pomp-loving rococo prince who maintained a magnificent court and had numerous castles built or remodeled. This portrait is close to the works of the court painter Franz Joseph Winter.
