Summary / Abstract:

LTStraipsnyje pristatomi iki šiol išsamiau netyrinėti Alfredo Römerio (1831-1897) satyrinės grafikos pavyzdžiai, saugomi LMA Vrublevskių bibliotekoje. Tai dailininko artimųjų ir pažįstamų šaržai ir buitinės karikatūros. Pastarosios pieštos kaip atskiros kompozicijos ar buvo skirtos Karalinavo dvare' tušu ir plunksnele pieštam laikraščiui Wiatry Parafialne (Parapijos vėjai). Šaržai atskleidžia dailininko sutiktų to laiko visuomenėje žinomų žmonių įvairovę, buitinės karikatūros supažindina su Lietuvos dvarų gyvenimo kasdienybe bei dvarų savininkų ir jų svečių laisvalaikio pomėgiais. Tai ne vien dailės kūriniai, bet ir vertingi dvarų kultūros vizualiniai šaltiniai. Reikšminiai žodžiai: karikatūrų aplankai, šaržai, buitinės karikatūros, satyriniai laikraščiai, Kriaunos, Karalinavas, Alfredas Römeris.

ENThis article presents the satirical graphic legacy of the artist Alfred Römer (1831-1897), preserved in the Manuscripts Department of the Wróblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, The collection, which has not been studied in detail until now, was originally kept at the Romer Manor in Karolinow. It was donated to the library in 1937 by Römer’s daughter, Helena Romer-Ochenkowska. The collection includes nearly zoo caricatures, primarily drawn in graphite pencil, ink, and pen, with only a few works coloured with watercolour. These works consist of ironic portraits of the artist s acquaintances and relatives, along with caricatures of domestic scenes. Romer s interest in satirical graphics began early, as seen in one of his earliest drawing albums dated 1855. His drawings do not focus on politics or social criticism but instead fall within the category of light-hearted, well-meaning caricatures. These include portraits of more or less well-known individuals, drawn in Krakow, Munich, and Vilnius, such as artists Władysław Czachórski, Józef Brandt, Jan Matejko, Jean-Baptiste Claude Eugene Guillaume, and Franciszek Jurjewicz, all depicted with a subtle irony. One of his satirical drawings portrays artists and collectors gathered in a Krakow art salon. Romer also sketched portraits of his close friends, including Bolesław Łopaciński, Rajnold Tyzenhauz, and his brother, Edward Mateusz.The portraits of Romers relatives, friends, and acquaintances are only subtly exaggerated, with slight distortions that emphasize the features that caught the artist s attention, yet without malicious intent. They demonstrate Romers skill in capturing portrait likenesses, highlighting his ability to reveal the essence of character. Many of these works are iconographically significant. Römers depictions of leisure and domestic life offer a witty glimpse into his surroundings and the everyday life of the manorial estates. Several satirical illustrations by the artist also appeared in the newspaper Wiatry Parafialne (Parish Winds), which was created in his estates in Krewno and Karolinow.
