Gróf Andrássy Gyula - portraits

[christabel_daae]

While prepairing an essay to be read in public in our German class about "Our favourite prominent person in history" - it's easy to guess whom I chose at once! - I collected quite a number of pictures portraing Gyula Andrássy senior. (Actually, I was looking for those anyway, for I am soooo interested in his personality...)
At first there was only that famous Gyula Benczúr's painting and several engravings, which made me very suspicious - What, no photos at the age of rapidly developing photography? (Carrie would understand me, I hope;-) Finally, however, I found a number of photos as well, which ruined such a gothic hypothesis...

I should also say that though I write in most places dates, I can't be 100% sure about them. You know, Google may lie, Wiki may lie - if some Hungarian-language sites contain only precise facts, I may misunderstand them (with my almost non-existent level of Hungarian, hehe) So if you know something certain about any pictures of these - especially about dates - then I'd be glad to learn that and correct the errors.

Anyway, let us begin with that most famous portrait by Benczúr. Dated 1884 - so the man on the picture is 61 years old.



The engravings first:


Dated 1861


Dated 1871 (and my personal favourite)



Portrait by Bertalan Székely, dated 1872


For the following two portraits don't know the artist's name
This one is dated 1875





And, finally, the photos:
Around 1860


Two photos of around 1880s




And all the other photos








Commemorative placard with the participants of Three Emperors’ Meeting in Berlin




This particular one reminds me of our adorable "Borchert in that strange hat":))))

Yaaay, thank you for uploading all these photos, I'm deliriously happy to see them :D I'm also interested in Andrassy, though I still don't know much about him - only some short information I got from all Elisabeth- and Franz Joseph-related stuff, but I'm going to do some research when I'll have some more free time. Andrassy seems to be a fascinating person :)
