Unidentified artist, early 18th century
Unidentified artist, early 18th century 71 portraits of church dignitaries, among them Pope Innocent XII and Clement XI and 56 cardinals participating in the conclave of 1700, oil on canvas, each 74 x 60 cm, framed, (Wo). Estimate upon request. Certificate: We thank Dr. Johann Weißensteiner of the Diözesanarchiv der Erzdiözese Wien for his meritorious research on the conclave of 1700. Literature: The collection is listed in Paul Buberl, "Die Kunstdenkmale des Schlosses Ottenstein", Lower Austria, Vienna 1911 (special edition) within the "Österreichische Kunsttopographie", vol. VIII. Provenance: Collection of Count Lamberg, Ottenstein Castle, from the early 18th century to 1934, when Countess Ladislaya Meran née Lamberg sold the castle and the collection came into the possession of Prince Auerperg in Wald Castle near Sankt Pölten, Lower Austria. It is not known what artist(s) Count Leopold Joseph von Lamberg commissioned with the gigantic task of executing the 71 portraits for Ottenstein Castle, one of the largest, most beautiful and historically significant castles in Austria. It is further unclear what models the artist(s) used for the portraits, which are doubtlessly authentic. As Imperial envoy to the Papal See, Count Leopold Joseph had at his disposal all kinds of sources such as oil paintings, drawings, copper engravings. It is also possible that Count Lambert took the painter from Vienna to Rome or that he commissioned one or several of the numerous artists from all over the world, among them also many from the Hapsburg monarchy, living in the European Mecca of artists.
