In 1827 and 1828 Amerling stayed in London and he met the portrait painter Sir Thomas Lawrence, whose work was to be a strong influence on Amerling's painting during the next two decades. Amerling also travelled to Paris and Rome but was recalled to Vienna on an official commission to paint a life-size portrait of the emperor Francis I of Austria (Vienna, Ksthist. Mus.). With this work, Amerling became the most sought-after portrait painter in Vienna, a position he was to retain for about 15 years. His close ties to English painting, his sophistication and his ambition enabled Amerling to go beyond the boundaries of his local Viennese tradition.
