Original Description
Alexander Roslin's Portrait of Count Georg Adam von Starhemberg (1761) exemplifies Rococo elegance infused with Enlightenment dignity. The Swedish master depicts the Austrian diplomat standing confidently in a velvet emerald-green coat adorned with gold embroidery, his powdered wig cascading perfectly as he gestures toward unseen grandeur. Roslin's virtuosic handling of luminous fabrics against atmospheric darkness creates dramatic yet refined theatricality—a hallmark of 18th-century aristocratic portraiture. As Starhemberg served as Austria's ambassador to France and Russia, this painting transcends mere likeness, embodying transnational diplomacy and the cultured opulence of European courts. The work’s psychological depth—seen in the Count’s intelligent gaze and subtle smirk—showcases Roslin’s departure from flat Baroque formality toward Rococo’s animated grace. Housed in Vienna’s Belvedere Palace, it remains pivotal for understanding how portraiture negotiated power and personality during the Ancien Régime.
For interiors, this masterpiece commands a traditional study or executive office with high ceilings and wainscoted walls. Hang it above a Louis XV escritoire or within a symmetrical panel of leather-bound books to complement its formal composition. The portrait’s dominant emerald and gold palette pairs splendidly with cognac leather furniture, while its 81×65cm dimensions suit intimate yet impactful display over mantels or between sash windows. Offset the dark background with gilt-framed mirrors or brass desk accessories for radiant balance. In contemporary spaces, juxtapose it against matte navy walls with velvet upholstery echoing the coat’s texture—this contrast honors Rococo sophistication while grounding it in modern minimalism. Avoid overcrowding; let Roslin’s dynamic brushwork and Starhemberg’s commanding presence remain the focal narrative of refined historical connection.
