Franz Winterhalter's Portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
What do royal portraits tell us? What messages about the sitters do they convey? And what are the sitters themselves communicating?
Join Eugene Barilo von Reisberg for an adventure into royal iconography as he explores the hidden meanings of Winterhalter's portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Uncover the secret language of the details of dress, jewellery, and accessories.
Eugene Barilo Von Reisberg is a Melbourne-based arts writer, curator, and blogger. His expertise on Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805–73), a 19th-century German-born international court portraitist, is widely recognised. Von Reisberg has contributed numerous articles and papers on the artist. He is currently pursuing a doctoral thesis on Winterhalter at the University of Melbourne.
