Oil on Canvas Portrait “WWI German Field Marshal” by Franz Triebsch 1939

This striking oil on canvas portrait, titled “WWI German Field Marshal” by renowned artist Franz Triebsch, dates to 1939. The subject of the painting is depicted in full regalia, with an air of solemn dignity and authority that reflects the status of a high-ranking officer in the German military during World War I. The bold red uniform, adorned with medals and the distinctive black and white cloak of the Knights Hospitaller, conveys both prestige and honor. Triebsch’s careful attention to detail, particularly in capturing the subject’s serious expression, speaks to his skill as a portraitist.

The background is stark and dark, drawing all focus to the Field Marshal’s presence, while his left hand rests on a sword — a symbol of his military command. This piece is painted with vivid strokes that lend a sense of life to the figure, with Triebsch’s distinct style emphasizing the uniform’s intricate textures and the gleaming decorations, as well as the sharpness of the face and posture.

The artist, Franz Triebsch, was known for creating compelling military portraits that captured the essence of the military elite during turbulent times. The painting bears the artist’s signature and the year 1939, aligning with a period when such military figures were often depicted as symbols of national pride. This piece would be an excellent addition to a collection focused on historical military art, offering a glimpse into the elite circles of pre-World War II Germany. 45h x 34w x 2d
