| Description | This study offers an analysis of selected studies of landscapist Franz Ferdinand Runk (1764–1834), which were commissioned by Field Marshall Johann I Joseph, Prince of Liechtenstein (1760–1836). Runk painted for Liechtenstein’s town palace at the Viennese Herrenstrasse not only selected voluptuary, i.e. leisure, buildings located in the current landscape composition of Lednice–Valtice, but also those from Nové Zámky by Litovel, Koloděje by Prague, in the current Vranov–Křtiny Liechtenstein compound, or those in the ‘landscape of medieval castles’ which stretches from Mödling in Lower Austria all the way to Sparbach. What he thus painted were not only spaces limited by the borders of particular parks but entire landscapes that included the parks of Liechtenstein palaces or compounds stretching from Prague, the capital city of the Kingdom of Bohemia, all the way to Vienna, the capital of the Habsburg monarchy. Since many of Runk’s oils and gouache paintings had been published in the past, this contribution focuses only on select, newly identified Runk’s studies kept in collections of the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna, which also form a pictorial supplement to this article. The supplement thus contains only a selection of Runk’s painting on the abovementioned subjects. |
