Cristian SEYBOLD (1695-1768) was a Baroque painter, famous for his portraits.
Undergoing the influence of Balthazar Denner and Jan Kopecky, he began to paint portraits around 1728 and quickly became famous.
In 1742 he served King Auguste III of Poland.
In 1749 he became the painter of the Court of Maria Teresa of Austria. In addition to his official portraits of monarchs and notables, he also painted people and a large series of self-portraits.
He performs mainly heads and busts much appreciated by the aristocracy for their careful execution. Most of his paintings are now exhibited around the world: Belvedere Palace in Vienna, Dresden, in the baroque gallery of Ludwigsburg Castle, Mainz, Nuremberg. Outside of Germany, his paintings are exhibited in the Louvre Museum, in Florence, at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
Many of his works have disappeared or been destroyed, which explains the difficulty of appreciating today the Art of Seybold as a whole.
