Zareer Masami on Johan Zoffany | Artist & Empire
Historian Zareer Masani considers what can be learnt about British colonial life in India from Zoffany’s ‘conversation piece’.
Travelling artists included established painters like Johan Zoffany, who visited India, or William Hodges and William Westall who documented ‘discovery voyages’ to Oceania. Amateurs like John Linton Palmer and Olivia Tonge took up art as a visual diary. Subjects ranged from community leaders to more intimate domestic groups, or individuals who were also treated as supposedly objective ethnographic case studies, exemplifying the character and customs of another race.

Johann Zoffany
Conocido principalmente como pintor de la alta sociedad y de temas teatrales. Nació en Frankfurt, Alemania. Hijo de un arquitecto, se crió en la Corte de Alexander Ferdinand, Principe von Trhurn und Taxis, por lo que disfrutó del favor real durante su carrera.

Johann Zoffany | #selfiedautore
Johann Zoffany nacque nel 1733 a Francoforte sul Meno. Si formò a Roma e, ritornato in Germania, diventò pittore di corte del Grande Elettore di Treviri. Nel 1760 andò in Inghilterra e, dopo la notorietà acquisita a Londra presso la famiglia reale, si recò a Firenze nell'estate del 1772. Qui restò fino al 1779 e dipinse “La Tribuna” della Galleria degli Uffizi su incarico della regina Carlotta, moglie di Giorgio III d’Inghilterra. Nel dipinto Johann Zoffany non si limitò a rappresentare l'ambiente così com’era, ma vi aggiunse tantissime opere d’arte, secondo un modello piuttosto diffuso nel Settecento: la sua Tribuna diventa quindi una sorta di grande Wunderkammern, una "camera delle meraviglie" nella quale si muovono collezionisti e intenditori d’arte.

Conocido principalmente como pintor de la alta sociedad y de temas teatrales. Nació en Frankfurt, Alemania. Hijo de un arquitecto, se crió en la Corte de Alexander Ferdinand, Principe von Trhurn und Taxis, por lo que disfrutó del favor real durante su carrera. Johan fue aprendiz del pintor Martin Speer y durante esa época hizo dos viajes a Roma, donde estudió con el pintor Masucci. Durante el segundo viaje, hizo amistad con Piranesi.
Soffany llegó a Inglaterra aproximadamente en 1760, pero debido a su dificultad con el idioma, se vió obligado a trabajar para el relojero Stephen Rimbault, pintando escenas en las esferas de los relojes. Despues trabajó en el estudio de Benjamin Wilson, un retratista. Su carrera mejoró cuando el manager de actores David Garrick se convirtió en su mecenas y le encargó varios cuadros que llamaron mucho la atención y la Reina Charlotte se convirtió en su mecenas tambien.
Expuso en la Sociedad de Artistas desde 1762 hasta 1769. Fue nombrado miembro de la Academia Real por George III. exponiendo allí desde 1770 hasta 1800. Entre 1772 y 1778 trabajó principalmente en Florencia. Volvió a Londres en 1779 pero despues de una discusión con la familia real, se marchó a la India en 1783, quedandose allí hasta 1789. Murió en Londres

Johan Joseph Zoffany, RA (1733-1810) was a German neoclassical painter, active mainly in England, Italy and India. His works appear in many prominent British collections such as the National Gallery, London, the Tate Gallery and in the Royal Collection, as well as institutions in Europe, India, the United States and Australia.
Of noble Hungarian and Bohemian origin, Johan Zoffany was born near Frankfurt on 13 March 1733, the son of a cabinet maker and architect in the court of Alexander Ferdinand, 3rd Prince of Thurn and Taxis. He undertook an initial period of study in a sculptor's workshop in Ellwangen in the 1740s and later at Regensburg with the artist Martin Speer. In 1750, he travelled to Rome, entering the studio of Agostino Masucci. In autumn 1760 he arrived in England, initially finding work with the clockmaker Stephen Rimbault (Zoffany's fine portrait of whom is now in the Tate Gallery), painting vignettes for his clocks.
By 1764 he was enjoying the patronage of the royal family, King George III and Queen Charlotte, for his charmingly informal scenes such as Queen Charlotte and Her Two Eldest Children (1765), in which the queen is shown at her toilette, with her eldest children, inside Buckingham House, and another, outdoors, with her children and her brothers. He also was popular with the Austrian Imperial family and in 1776 was created "Baron" by Empress Maria Theresa.
A founding member of the new Royal Academy in 1768, Zoffany enjoyed great popularity for his society and theatrical portraits, painting many prominent actors and actresses, in particular, David Garrick, the most famous actor of his day – Garrick as Hamlet and Garrick as King Lear – often in costume. He was a master of what has been called the "theatrical conversation piece", a subset of the "conversation piece" genre that arose with the middle classes in the 18th century. Zoffany has been described by one critic as "the real creator and master of this genre".
Zoffany spent the years 1783 to early 1789 in India, where he painted portraits including the Governor-General of Bengal, Warren Hastings, and the Nawab Wazir of Oudh, Asaf-ud-Daula; an altarpiece of the Last Supper (1787) for St John's Church of England, Calcutta; and a vibrant history painting, Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Fight (1784–86) (Tate), described by historian Maya Jasanoff as ‘easily the liveliest illustration of early colonial India’. In the usual way, he sired several children by an Indian mistress, or ‘uppa-patni’. Returning to England, he was shipwrecked off the Andaman Islands. The survivors held a lottery in which the loser (a sailor) was eaten. William Dalrymple describes Zoffany as having been "the first and last Royal Academician to have become a cannibal".
Around the age of 27, Zoffany married the daughter of a court official in Würzburg. She accompanied him to London but returned to Germany within a decade or so. Zoffany left for Florence in 1772, followed by young Mary Thomas, the daughter of a London glovemaker, who was carrying his first child. Whether they married in Europe is uncertain, though Zoffany's portrait, Mary Thomas, the Artist’s second wife, c1781-82, shows her wearing a wedding ring. Following the death of his first wife in 1805, Zoffany married ‘Mary Thomas … Spinster’ in accordance with Church of England rites.
Zoffany and Mary Thomas had five children, including a son who died tragically in infancy, and four daughters. Their second daughter, Cecilia (1779–1830) was involved in a well-publicised child custody case in Guernsey in 1825. Zoffany died at his home at Strand-on-the-Green on 11 November 1810. He is buried in the churchyard of St Anne's Church, Kew. The painters Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Kirby are coincidentally buried nearby.
A 2014 book by David Wilson describes Zoffany's relationship with Robert Sayer (1725–94). A leading publisher and seller of prints, maps and maritime charts in Georgian Britain, based in Fleet Street, London, Sayer organised the engraving of paintings by some leading artists of the day, most importantly Zoffany, and sold prints from the engravings. In this way, he helped to secure Zoffany's international reputation. Sayer and the artist became long-standing friends as well as business associates. In 1781 Zoffany painted Robert Sayer in an important ‘conversation piece’. The Sayer Family of Richmond depicts Robert Sayer, his son, James, from his first marriage, and his second wife, Alice Longfield (née Tilson).
Behind the family group is the substantial villa on Richmond Hill overlooking the River Thames, built for Sayer between 1777 and 1780 to the designs of William Eves, a little known architect and property developer. On Sayer's death in 1794 the house was to become the residence of a future king of Great Britain.

I personaggi che ritrae all’interno della Tribuna sono in gran parte gentiluomini inglesi in Italia per il Grand Tour, quel viaggio che almeno una volta nella vita portava gli esponenti delle famiglie nobili di tutta Europa a visitare per alcuni mesi le bellezze naturali e artistiche del nostro Paese.
Continuate a seguirci! Nelle prossime settimane, vi racconteremo, con Selfie d' Autore - una serie di video prodotta dall'Area Strategie Digitali delle Gallerie degli Uffizi - la collezione di autoritratti degli Uffizi. Voci diverse restituiscono vita ai volti, in un gioco tra passato e presente, ripercorrendo la vita e le opere di alcuni dei grandi maestri che nel corso del tempo hanno arricchito le nostre raccolte con i loro autoritratti, dal Rinascimento ai giorni nostri.

Johann Zoffany nacque nel 1733 a Francoforte sul Meno. Si formò a Roma e, ritornato in Germania, diventò pittore di corte del Grande Elettore di Treviri. Nel 1760 andò in Inghilterra e, dopo la notorietà acquisita a Londra presso la famiglia reale, si recò a Firenze nell'estate del 1772. Qui restò fino al 1779 e dipinse “La Tribuna” della Galleria degli Uffizi su incarico della regina Carlotta, moglie di Giorgio III d’Inghilterra. Nel dipinto Johann Zoffany non si limitò a rappresentare l'ambiente così com’era, ma vi aggiunse tantissime opere d’arte, secondo un modello piuttosto diffuso nel Settecento: la sua Tribuna diventa quindi una sorta di grande Wunderkammern, una "camera delle meraviglie" nella quale si muovono collezionisti e intenditori d’arte.
