Zusammenfassung:This article examines the international work of the German draftsman, painter, and war artist Theodor Rocholl with a specific focus on his work in China, in the Ottoman Empire, and for Ottoman patrons. Rocholl’s deeply conservative and nationalist ideologies, known to us through an exhaustive autobiography, are largely at odds with the geographic and topical diversity of and empathy demonstrated for his artistic subjects. This study explores how this apparent tension was a product not only of the vicissitudes of Rocholl’s rocky career but also of a reluctant engagement with late imperial notions of Germany’s important role in the Near East and the prescient notions of cosmopolitanism that surrounded it.
