Der Porträtmaler Johann Kupetzky; sein Leben und seine Werke
A German-language monograph by Alexander Nyári, published in Vienna in 1889 by A. Hartleben, on the portrait painter Johann Kupetzky (1667-1740) and his life and work. Its photographic plates reproduce his portraits of men in dark, warm-toned tones, with one seated youth in a wide-brimmed hat and one armoured, fur-collared figure. A designer might take from them the sepia palette, the dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, and the direct three-quarter poses of Baroque portraiture.
