George Dawe
Portrait of Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna
#2
George Dawe is a British painter and engraver. He was known in Europe as a cult portraitist, a master of reproduction engraving, the author of historic, mythological, and genre pictures.

George Dawe was trained as an engraver by his father, but later took an interest in painting and went on to study at the Royal Academy of Arts. In 1809, Dawe became an associate member of the Academy, and in 1814 a full member.

The artist enjoyed the patronage of the Duke and Duchess of Kent. In 1819, he started on a journey to Europe and was noticed by Alexander I. The Russian emperor commissioned Dawe to paint portraits of Russian generals who had fought Napoleon. With the assistance of two other Russian artists, Wilhelm August Golicke and Alexander Polyakov, Dawe painted 329 portraits of generals in 1819-1829. They included participants in the Patriotic War of 1812 and the foreign campaigns of 1813-1814, full-length portraits of Mikhail Kutuzov and Michael Barclay de Tolly, and four portraits of veteran soldiers, which made the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace.

In the autumn of 1820, an exhibition of George Dawe’s works was arranged, following which the artist was elected an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. The exhibition won him tremendous acclaim. In 1826, Emperor Nicholas I invited Dawe to his coronation, and in 1828 Dawe was officially appointed as the First Portrait Painter of the Imperial Court. Many members of the royal family, courtiers, ministers, nobility, guards officers commissioned Dawe to paint their portraits.

In St. Petersburg, Dawe spent long hours at his easel in his palace studio or in private clients’ homes. Contemporaries talking about his work noted his ability to accurately convey the model’s appearance and the excellent command of the brush. Pavel Svinyin, a Russian writer, publisher and editor, wrote about Dawe in the Otechestvenniye Zapiski magazine in 1820:
#3
“The mechanical technique of his hand is absolutely unique; his brush is broad, brave, fast, but too fast. It casts paints rather than applies, sometimes, apparently, without touching them. This causes all portraits by Dawe seem to be a kind of sketch”.

In the above picture, dated 1828, Dawe portrayed the Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna, Crown Princess of the Netherlands, the daughter of Emperor Paul I and Empress Maria Feodorovna. The portrait was completed during Anna Pavlovna’s stay in Russia.

In the picture, the Grand Duchess is wearing a dress style which was in fashion in the first half of the 19th century: an Empire gown with Mameluke sleeves gathered with fabric bracelets at regular distances. On Anna’s shoulders, there is a fashionable shawl with an intricate floral design. George Dawe was after an exquisite simplicity of the image. It is complemented by the Grand Duchess’s unsophisticated kinky hair style.

Anna Pavlovna is leaning against a column with an Empress Maria Feodorovna bust. In this way, George Dawe pointed out the warm relationship between the mother and daughter. The jonquil, ivy and rose nearby symbolize death, fidelity, and love.
