About the Item
Julius Vincenz von Krombholz (1782-1843) was an important & prominent 19th century Czech physician & mycologist, professor of Special Pathology & Therapy at Prague University, and in 1831 he was appointed Rector of Prague University.
In his capacity as a mycologist, Krombholz published several important works on the subject dealing with the toxicity, genetic & biochemical properties of funghi, and is responsible for having discovered several funghi species that now bear his authorship (Krombh) in their descriptions. He is shown here painted in ¾ profile, finely attired in a black tunic over a white linen shirt & cravat, with apparently the Rectors Chain of Prague University draped about him. In back and to the left of his right shoulder stands the figure of Asclepius, the Greek God of Medicine, which is representative of the medical arts.
Executed in oil on canvas, measuring 30.75” high x 24.5” wide, and mounted within what appears to be its original - albeit rubbed giltwood frame, measuring 35.75” high x 29.5” wide x 2.75” deep. Although apparently unsigned, a portrait of Julius Vincenz von Krombholz is recorded in a list of works by noted 19th century Czech portrait artist Franz Horziczka.
Franz Horziczka (1776-1856) is considered to have been the most important Czech portrait artist of his day, very much in demand by a list of Prague’s wealthy patrons including clerical figures, physicians, statesmen, poets, as well as other notable figures & intelligentsia.
