About product

A figure of Franz Joseph I in the 75mm range

A collector's figure of the Austrian emperor from the maker Black Dog. It is not a kit of a machine but a free-standing figure where the main work is the painting, especially the face and the details of the uniform.

The monarch and his time

Franz Joseph I came to the throne at the age of eighteen in 1848 and reigned until his death in 1916, that is, for sixty-eight years. In that time the monarchy changed from a centrally governed state into the dual Austria-Hungary, whose shape was decided by the settlement with Hungary in 1867. The monarch showed himself in public almost exclusively in military uniform, and his side whiskers became a recognizable mark of the period.

The uniform and its shades

With historical uniforms it is discipline in the palette that decides: keep the base tone of the coat muted and leave the attention to the facings, the buttons and the decorations. Metal elements come alive when a matte area surrounds them. Build the portrait work on the face from a mid skin layer toward the highlights and the shadows, leave the eyes for the very end and suggest them rather than draw them exactly. Suggest the decorations and the cords with a few accurate strokes rather than tracing them laboriously; at viewing distance that reads more cleanly.

Who the set will appeal to

  • collectors with a connection to the history of the Danube monarchy
  • painters who enjoy working on a portrait
  • anyone interested in the period uniforms of the 19th century
  • modelers looking for a figure outside the usual combat themes

The figure comes with no finish, so the final look will emerge only from your own work.

FAQ

The name refers to the emperor whose reign lasted from 1848 to 1916. The exact period dating of the uniform does not follow from it.

Yes. A figure of a monarch sits well in a collection of historical personalities and needs no military vehicles to accompany it.

The face, without question. With a recognizable personality everyone notices the likeness, so it pays to paint slowly and in thin layers.
