  • The Wallenstein Portrait Gallery
    THE WALLENSTEIN PORTRAIT GALLERY IN THE CHEB MUSEUM A Catalogue of the Permanent Exhibition Cheb 1999 CONTENTS Introduction 5 Eva Dittertová The Wallenstein tradition at the Cheb Museum 7 Eva Dittertová Foreword to the opening of the exhibition, July 27th 1998 8 Danuta Učníková The Wallensteins 10 Stanislav Kasík The family portrait gallery 19 Pavel Blattný Notes on the choice and ordering of the paintings 23 Pavel Blattný The catalogue 25 Pavel Blattný Appendices: The 1749 inventory of paintings from Mnichovo Hradiště château 60 Specialist terms 62 Pavel Blattný Analogies, models, variations 65 Pavel Blattný Lucas van Valckenborch 73 Pavel Blattný Frans Luycx 74 Pavel Blattný 3 INTRODUCTION Eva Dittertová The departure point for the creation of this catalogue was the thesis completed by Pavel Blattný for the Institute of Art History of the Philosophical Faculty of Charles University, Prague, in 1997. His theme was somewhat wider, of course, being concerned with the problematique of the development of the representa- tive, noble portrait in full length in Central Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the family gallery of forebears. The Wallenstein Collection served in this thesis as an example of the complex problems that such galleries of family forebears present in terms of Baroque historicism in Bohemia. The first demonstrable Wallenstein „family gallery“ is mentioned at Duchcov in 1731, the second at Mnichovo Hradiště in 1749; the latter ran to 16 pictures, and it is interesting that of the rich choices available among the members of the Wallenstein family, it covers virtually the same range as the Cheb collection (see the 1749 inventory from Mnichovo Hradiště).

    Alessandra Becucci, 2011© – Phd candidate, European University Institute Paper presented at the 3rd Meeting of the European Network on the Theory and Practice of Biography ENTPB Biography as a Problem: New Perspectives 25-26 February 2011 – Florence, European University Institute Work in progress. Please do not quote or cite without the author’s permission A European identity: Ottavio Piccolomini (1599-1656), soldier, courtier, patron Alessandra Becucci, European University Institute The study of the cultural patronage of Ottavio Piccolomini Pieri d‟Aragona (1599-1656), Italian nobleman and soldier in the Habsburg army, as a key to understand the construction of his socio- political persona and his self fashioning1 as a soldier and a courtier at the Imperial court, accounts for the possibility to study an early modern life course in a transnational perspective. While the concept of self-fashioning as related to cultural patronage has been the object of several investigations, the study of early modern cultural investments made by Seventeenth century career soldiers has only been occasionally touched upon. As an Italian nobleman living the most of his life out of the native country, as a young pike bearer reaching the highest echelons of the imperial military hierarchy and court society, born a Sienese duke and dead an Imperial prince, Ottavio Piccolomini‟s features differentiate him from the better known typologies of art patrons, mainly by reason of the military activity, and the mobility related to it, marking his entire life2. When taking into consideration the peculiarities of his case, it is possible to try and reassess some of the ideas and conclusions drawn about Early modern cultural patronage, such as the definition of „art patron‟ itself.
