Double Portrait of the brothers Konrad and Franz Eberhard, 1822
2017
Overview
As part of a series of articles offering information on prints and drawings acquired by the Rijks Museum, this lithograph by Johann Anton Ramboux is discussed. Double Portrait of the Brothers Konrad and Franz Eberhard was a long-desired work, because it is one of the most iconic early German lithographs, only twenty impressions of which are known. The double portrait occupies a special place in the artist’s subjects and townscapes. Ramboux made few portraits and those he did make were almost exclusively of friends and colleagues. The portrait of the Eberhard brothers, which he had painted in Rome in 1822, immediately prior to his return to Germany, was the example for this lithograph. In Italy, where he had been living since 1816, he kept in close touch with a group of Nazarenes, the circle that also included Konrad and Franz Eberhard.
