Fashion &... Winterhalter
“For a beautiful woman can work wonders.”
- Franz Xaver Winterhalter
Titian, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyke. None of the other renowned court painters had the honour of painting as many sovereigns or members of the European Elite as Franz Xaver Winterhalter.
Throughout his successful career which spanned 40 years, Winterhalter not only captured through paint, a flattering but extremely accurate likeness of his sitters, he also recorded with almost photographic detail every item of costume and every accessory of his royal, imperial and aristocratic clientele.
When looking at a Winterhalter portrait, especially those of the ladies of the courts of Europe, we can’t help but be dazzled by his skill and meticulous depiction of fashionable fabrics and surface detail.
Winterhalter succeeded brilliantly in reinventing the baroque splendour of royal portraiture in the tradition of Van Dyck but executed with a sense realism that was completely of his own time.
His mastery with paint and skill with the brush exudes the utmost luxury in clothing, jewels and accessories. Winterhalter was a true artist who captured in paint the ephemeral nature of mid 19th century fashion.

Never heard of his name before though I remember seeing some of his paintings. Thank you for another wonderful episode, Scott. An episode about fashion illustration or some particular fashion illustrator would be amazing as well.

@@Fashionand this video really helped me. I have been overwhelmed with the lack of accurate descriptions of Worth gowns but this really shined a light on things! Thank you once more! Love the painter as well!
Of course you gave us a interesting and informative episode! I was dazzled by this man's talent and the incredible details he could paint. How do you paint lace, tulle etc and have it look so realistic, blows my mind! I'm so happy you are having more and more success with this channel.I can see you have some very devoted followers and that they are relating on a more personal level. It was your personality that hooked me first, you are a funny, charming and intelligent young man. Bravo and continued success Scott.👍

Nice topic again! Do you plan to make one on Singer, the sewing machines magnat? He had an interesting life and he is a huge part of the fashion industry. Best regards. Ps: ought Kierke's book on Vionnet, thanks for recommending it.
