Anton Romako (1832 Atzgersdorf, now a part of Vienna - 1889 Vienna)

"One of the most famous clashes in 1866 Third Italian War of Independence was the battle of Lissa. Not far from the island Lissa/Vis off the Dalmatian coast, the Austrian navy - also commanding the Venetian frigates - fought a numerically superior Italian fleet. On July 20, 1866, Austrian commander Admiral Wilhelm von Tegethoff achieved a surprinsing victory. This work by Viennese painter Anton Romako differs from traditional nineteenth-century battle paintings.When it was first publicly exhibited in 1882, the painting was even seen as a caricature, for it revealed none of the conventional pathos and hero worship." (Information text in the exhibition)

From the exhibtion "Viva Venezia! The Invention of Venice in the 19th Century" in the Lower Belvedere www.belvedere.at/en/viva-venezia

Anton Romako's "late works are painted in a nervous expressionist style which disturbed his contemporaries. More than a decade passed before his works were reconsidered and appreciated. [...] His best-known work, the portrait of Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff during the naval Battle of Lissa, shows the admiral and a few sailors without the usual heroism at the moment when his ship Ferdinand Max is going to ram an Italian flagship." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Romako
