About the Item
Splendid oil portrait on canvas of Count Bailiff Ludovico Caprara (1731-1812), as indicated by the writing inside the "tabula ansata," at the bottom of the frame of the painting. The tabula ansata also depicts the family coat of arms and the Latin motto "nosce te ipsum" (trans. "know thyself"). Ludovico Caprara, son of Countess Maria Vittoria Caprara and Count Marquis Francesco Raimondo Montecuccoli, was a knight of the order of Malta, as also indicated in the painting, by the cross he wears around his neck and woven onto his jacket. Within the order, he held the role of Bailiff of Armenia. The portrait, full of realism and finely detailed, portrays him with his gaze directed toward the viewer, in clothes and a wig typical of the time. Finally, in his right hand he holds the staff, a symbol of his nobility. The work, probably attributable to a Bolognese artist of the late 18th century, certainly exudes history and elegance. The pictorial part is in excellent condition, as the restoration has already been carried out. The frame, however, requires restoration and the price includes the restoration of the corners. The frame, in carved and gilded wood, is contemporary with the painting.

Located in Kinderhook, NY
A circa 1725 oil on canvas portrait of Louis George Simpert, as Hereditary Prince, the future Margrave of Baden-Baden (Deutsch: Ludwig Georg Simpert, Markgraf von Baden-Baden) portrayed one-quarter length in powdered wig and wearing ceremonial armor and crimson sash newly fitted in a period molded giltwood frame with bead-and-reel inner border from the Eli Wilner collection. Canvas measures 24.5" x 19.25". A related, but later portrait of circa 1735, attributed to the same unknown painter, is held in the collection of Lichtenthal Abbey, Baden-Baden.
Biography:
Louis George or Ludwig Georg Simpert, Margrave of Baden-Baden, born June 7, 1702 at Ettlingen Palace was the son of Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden and his wife, Princess Sibylle of Saxe-Lauenburg. Hereditary Prince of Baden-Baden from birth, at the death of his father in 1707, he succeeded as Margrave of Baden-Baden at the age of four. As such, his mother was regent of Baden-Baden until he reached his majority on 22 October 1727 at the age of 25. He married Maria Anna of Schwarzenberg April 8, 1721 at Český Krumlov Castle. The couple were the parents of four children, of whom only one survived infancy. After the death of the first Maria Anna in 1755, he married the Princess Maria Anna Josepha of Bavaria on July 10, 1755; the daughter of Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor and his Austrian wife Archduchess Maria Amalia. The second marriage remained childless. Due to his passion for hunting instead of military service, he became known as "Jägerlouis", "hunter Louis", a play on his father's nickname of Türkenlouis ("Turk Louis") due to his famous heroics against the Turkish army at the Siege of Vienna...
