Object history
Provenance
  • 1) The old (early 20th century?), machine-typed label on verso of the painting, which is a reduplication of a 1856 hand-written note made by this portrait's previous owner, certain Carl Stamm, states that this is the only existing oil portrait of Duchess Luise and (as it is often the case in retold family legends) quotes the years of life of another Duchess Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt (1757–1830), wife of the ruling Grand Duke Carl August von Saxen-Weimar). In any case, this text informs us that the portrait was the sitter's personal present to Carl Stamm's grandfather "Kammerrath and General-Kasse Direktor" Stamm (love affair? - B.W.). After the latter's death, the portrait came into possession of his son (Carl Stamm's father) "Geheimer Oberkonsistorialrat" Stamm. After the death of Carl Stamm's father, his heirs (including Carl Stamm himself) passed the painting for a lifetime loan over to Grand Duke, Emil of Hesse-Darmstadt (1790-1856), who was "aware of the painting's great value". After Emil's death, the portrait (in accordance with the contract of loan - B.W.) was returned to Stamm family. Carl Stamm, who, as already mentioned, was the author of this note, dated it in the end "Darmstadt, de 29. Sept. 1856" (see our image nr.7).
