• Resumen

  • The writer discusses the portraits among Adolph von Menzel's early works. Menzel, who is known for his history paintings, painted portraits of his friends, acquaintances, and family. Usually uncommissioned, they were created as personal memorials, and they generally remained in his private collection. In these works, Menzel concentrated on capturing individualities; he tended to ignore both his subjects' physical surroundings and their place in history.
