The portraitist of aristocracy and geniuses

His art, nourished by tradition but rooted in modernity, appeals to the political and cultural elites of the 19th century.
He creates portraits of Bismarck, Wagner, Nietzsche, Liszt and many other prominent figures, combining psychology, sobriety, and depth.

Les œuvres de Lenbach, telles que Portrait d’Otto von Bismarck, Portrait de Richard Wagner, Jeune femme au châle rouge, Autoportrait ou Portrait de sa fille Marion, révèlent un sens rare du volume, de la matière et de l’intériorité.
Ses modèles, souvent enveloppés d’ombres chaudes et de tons bruns, semblent émerger de la toile avec une intensité silencieuse.

Par sa maîtrise du clair-obscur et sa sensibilité humaine, Lenbach transforme le portrait en art de la vérité et de la présence.
