| Description |
Probably Hildebrandt's 'Brasilianisches Mohrenmädchen' ('Brazilian negro girl') listed in F. von Boetticher, Malerwerke des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, I, Minden, 1974, p.564, no.146 ('Brasilianisches Mohrenmädchen. E: Dr Barez'). Encouraged by Humboldt and sponsored by the Prussian King Frederick William IV, Hildebrandt travelled to South America in 1844 commissioned to paint souvenirs of Prince Adalbert's recent visit to Brazil. Hildebrandt was in Brazil between March and October 1844 before leaving for North America on his return journey to Europe. In Brazil he was based in Rio de Janeiro and made excursions to Sao Paulo and Bahia. On his return to Germany he worked up exhibition pictures from his sketchbooks. For his Brazilian work see G. Ferrez, O Brasil de Eduard Hildebrandt, Rio de Janeiro, 1988 and G. Ferrez, Iconografia do Rio de Janeiro 1530-1890 Catalogo Analítico, Rio de Janeiro, 2000, pp. 456 (2899-3002). Financed by Frederick William IV of Prussia, Hildebrandt spent the rest of his career travelling. He published an illustrated travel diary (A Journey Around the World) in 1867, recording his travels from 1862-64. |
