Heinrich Anton von Angeli (8 July 1840 – 21 October 1925) was an Austrian historian and portrait painter.
Life
The Angeli family was originally from Venice and was ennobled by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II in 1565.[1]
Angeli was born in 1840 in Ödenburg, then part of the Austrian empire, now known as Sopron in Hungary. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, and in Munich, before moving back to Vienna in 1862. From 1870 he travelled between Berlin, London, and Vienna, producing portraits.[2]
The success of Angeli at painting society portraits was partly due to his skill in depicting uniforms, pearls, and other jewels.[3] Unlike painters such as Franz Xaver Winterhalter, Angeli worked in a naturalistic style and preferred to portray his sitters as they were. His 1875 portrait of Queen Victoria earned him praise from the monarch for its honesty. As well as royal figures and politicians, he painted other notable people, such as the German chemist August Wilhelm von Hofmann. In 1877, Buckingham Palace invited Ulysses S. Grant to have his portrait painted by Angeli.[4]
Angeli's works included portraits of Queen Victoria, her eldest daughter Victoria, Princess Royal, Kaiser Wilhelm I, Benjamin Disraeli, Lord Kitchener,[5] and two portraits of Princess Beatrice.[6]
Several of Angeli's works are in the British Royal Collection, including portraits of members of the British, German, and Russian royal and imperial families.[5] His work is also in the Wallace Collection[7] and the Victoria and Albert Museum.[8]
In 1915 Angeli was appointed to the German Order Pour le Mérite for Sciences and Arts. He died in Vienna in 1925.[1]
