EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, created by the renowned Swiss artist Sebastian Walch in 1756, showcases the distinguished likeness of Felix Brenwald, Mayor of Zurich during the 18th century. The meticulously crafted image reveals a man of authority and sophistication, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. Brenwald's apparel consists of a long, voluminous coat, a high-waisted doublet, and a knee-length breeches. His hat, adorned with a wide, flat brim, sits atop his head, adding an air of importance to his appearance. The intricately designed coat of arms on his chest, shielded by a flowing scarf, proudly displays the symbols of his civic position and heritage. The print, titled "Sixty portraits of Mayors of the City of Zurich," is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the city. The monochromatic, black and white palette adds an element of timelessness to the image, enhancing the historical significance of the portrait. The print, which is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection, offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 1750s, providing a valuable connection to the past. The influence of Johann Caspar Fussli, a significant figure in Swiss art, is evident in Walch's masterful use of mezzotint technique, which creates a striking contrast between light and shadow, bringing the portrait to life. This image of Felix Brenwald not only serves as a visual representation of a man of power and prestige but also as a window into the history and heritage of Zurich and Switzerland during the 18th century.
