The Story behind a Portrait. A Talk by Jonathon Bond

During 2022, the Capodistrias Museum exhibited the unique facsimile copy of Sir Thomas Lawrence’s 1818 painting, John, Count Capo d’Istria (1776-1831) commissioned by the Rothschild Foundation to celebrate the bicentenary of the Greek Revolution. Sir Thomas Lawrence’s 1818 Waterloo Chamber portrait of Capodistrias captures with artistic brilliance a forgotten liberal European statesman at the height of his diplomatic powers, at exactly the moment when Russia’s Joint Foreign Minister was making his most significant contribution towards securing the post-Waterloo European political settlement. Capodistrias’ dramatic career encompassed many of the themes of national independence, European solidarity and the balance of power in Europe that are still being hotly debated two hundred years after his assassination. The Rothschild Foundation commissioned the Factum Foundation - worldwide experts in creating copies of works of art - to create a facsimile copy of this magnificent portrait to be gifted to Greece. The facsimile was first presented in 2021 at the Benaki Museum in Athens in the exhibition '1821 before & after' and then, in 2022, at the Capodistrias Museum in Corfu in the exhibition 'John, Count Capodistrias'. Jonathon Bond paints is this episode a vivid image of the artist, the sitter and the circumstances that brought them together and of the portrait's contemporary commission. About Jonathon Bond:  Oxford University, business career in Management Consultancy and Investment, with a focus on ethical investing and sustainability. Was recently chair of green cleaning specialists Ecover Method and a board member at Jupiter Fund Management, Scottish Widows and Grosvenor. Has owned an 18th century property in Corfu since 2014 when he started researching the diplomatic career of Ioannis Capodistrias.

The Swiss banker Jean Gabriel Eynard and Greece. A talk by Korinna Schönhärl

The Swiss banker Jean Gabriel Eynard and Greece.  On this episode our guest-speaker Dr. Schönhärl Korinna, Substitute Professor at the KIT Karlsruhe, Germany focuses on the Swiss banker Jean-Gabriel Eynard who was one of the leading figures of international philhellenism from the second half of the 1820s until his death in 1863. Eynard provided Greece both with investment and with valuable ties to his international diplomatic network. Through much of his career, Eynard prioritized his beloved Greece and invested much energy and effort in mentoring the country both financially and ideologically. This close relationship to the country calls for explanation, because Eynard neither enjoyed a classical education nor had any personal ties to Greece before 1825 – with one exception: Ioannis Capodistrias, whom Eynard first met at the Congress of Vienna, in 1814, when Capodistrias was a diplomat in the service of the Russian czar. Korinna Schönhärl is a Substitute Professor at the KIT Karlsruhe. She qualified as a Professor of Modern History (University Duisburg-Essen) with her postdoctoral thesis on European investment in Greece in the 19th century (European Investment in Greece in the Nineteenth Century. A Behavioural Approach to Financial History, 2020). Schönhärl holds a PhD from Goethe-University Frankfurt (Knowledge and Visions. Politics and theory of the economists around the poet Stefan George, Akademie 2008). Further research foci are the history of economic thought, moral economics and historiographic methodology. Her current research project at Goethe University Frankfurt is entitled “International cultural history of tax morale” and compares discourses on tax paying behaviour in Western Germany, Spain and the USA after 1940.
