The Congress of Vienna: Sitting of the Plenipotentiaries of the Eight Powers who Signed the Treaty o Creator: Unknown
The Congress of Vienna: Sitting of the Plenipotentiaries of the Eight Powers who Signed the Treaty of Paris in 1815 - from the large painting by Isabey, 1856. This memorable scene in the diplomatic history of Europe - at which were made arrangements which formed the last general settlement of the affairs of Europe - derives additional interest at the present moment from its being placed in parallel with the Treaty of Peace just signed at Paris. The Congress was held at Vienna in 1815, at the Foreign Office, in the same apartment wherein was held the Conference of last year, 1855. The former Congress, whereat was signed the Treaty between Austria, Spain, France, Great Britain, Portugal. Prussia, Russia, and Sweden, was painted by Isabey; and is valuable for the admirable portraits it contains of the great diplomatic celebrities of the period who attended the Congress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, where the plenipotentiaries of eight major European powers gathered to sign the treaty that would bring an end to the Napoleonic Wars and reshape the political landscape of Europe. The painting, created by an unknown artist in 1856, is based on Isabey's larger work of the same name. The Congress took place in the Foreign Office at Vienna, in the very room where the previous year's conference had been held. The assembly of diplomats depicted in this painting includes notable figures such as Prince Metternich of Austria, the Duke of Wellington of Great Britain, and Talleyrand of France, among others. The Congress of Vienna is considered a pivotal moment in European history, as it marked the last comprehensive settlement of European affairs before the 20th century. The parallels between this historic event and the recently signed Treaty of Paris in 1856 add an extra layer of significance to this scene.
