EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back to the 19th century and introduced to a young man of noble stature - Othon Ier de Grece, also known as Otto, King of Greece. Painted by Joseph Karl Stieler in 1832, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 89x68 and is housed in the prestigious Benaki Museum in Athens. The artist skillfully captures the essence of youth and royalty through his meticulous brushwork. Dressed in a military uniform adorned with various decorations and orders, King Otto exudes power and authority. His piercing gaze reflects both determination and wisdom beyond his years. Stieler's attention to detail is evident not only in the intricate rendering of the king's face but also in the vibrant colors that bring life to every stroke. The rich blues and reds create a striking contrast against the neutral background, enhancing our focus on Othon Ier de Grece himself. This portrait serves as a testament to both artistry and history. It offers us a glimpse into an era when monarchies reigned supreme, showcasing not only their opulent lifestyles but also their roles as leaders within society. Through this painting, we can appreciate the significance of military prowess alongside nobility. As we stand before this remarkable artwork at Benaki Museum, we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty while simultaneously being reminded of its historical importance.
