Venice: The Feast Day of Saint Roch
Artist: Canaletto (Italian, 1697-1768)
Date: ca. 1735
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: The National Gallery, London, United Kingdom
Description
A crowd watches as state dignitaries and foreign ambassadors emerge from the church of San Rocco on the right of this painting. They have just attended a mass in honor of Saint Roch as part of the saint’s feast day, which was held in Venice every year on 16 August to celebrate his role in bringing the plague of 1576 to an end. The doge (the elected head of the Venetian state) is dressed in a golden, ermine-lined ceremonial robe; other figures wear sumptuous draperies and white powdered wigs. Many of those gathered to watch the grand procession face away from us, giving us the impression that we are part of the crowd watching the festivities.
The Coronation of Joseph II (1741-1790) in St. Bartholomew's Cathedral in Frankfurt (1764)
Artist: Martin van Meytens (Austrian, 1695-1770)
Date: 1764
Medium: Oil painting
Collection: Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Austria
The Coronation of Joseph II
In 1764, Frankfurt am Main, where coronations were traditionally held for rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, became the scene of a ‘half-majestic, half-ghostlike world theatre’, according to eyewitness Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The ritual which unfolded around the election of Habsburg Crown Prince Joseph was a magnificent spectacle from a world in decline.
The young king in his monstrous articles of clothing, with the crown jewels of Charlemagne, dragged himself around as if in a costume of disguise, such that he himself… was unable to hold back a smile. ~ from J.W. Goethe, Dichtung und Wahrheit
The Holy Roman Empire, the future ruler of which had just been chosen by the electors, was by now no more than a primitive vestige, a colourful conglomeration of small and medium-sized states crushed between the major powers. Following the end of the Seven Years’ War, the balance of power within Europe had fundamentally changed; the Old Empire was politically obsolete, and retained a presence only in symbolic form.
Yet on this occasion too, the House of Habsburg attached a great deal of importance to asserting the imperial claim to the imperial dignity, nurtured over generations. While Emperor Franz I Stephan of Lorraine was alive and still in power, a lengthy diplomatic overture had already ensured that all the electors would elect Joseph, including arch-enemy Frederick II of Prussia, Elector of Brandenburg.
