EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait depicts Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (1717-1780) in all her regal splendor, adorned with the revered Holy Crown of Hungary. Painted by the renowned Austrian artist Johann Michael Millitz (1725-1779) in 1748, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of the powerful and influential Empress. Maria Theresa, who ruled the Austrian Empire from 1740 until her death, was not only the sovereign of the Austrian lands but also the Queen of Hungary and Bohemia. The Holy Crown of Hungary, one of the most sacred and symbolic artifacts of the Kingdom of Hungary, was a testament to her dual role as both a secular and spiritual leader. The crown, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, is a magnificent piece of gold and precious stones, adorned with crosses, pearls, and other precious gems. In this portrait, Empress Maria Theresa proudly holds the crown aloft, her regal expression reflecting her unwavering determination and strength. The painting, executed in the Rococo style, is a masterful blend of grandeur and elegance. The richly decorated background, with its intricate gold leaf patterns and delicate floral motifs, adds to the overall opulence of the image. The use of soft, muted colors and the delicate brushwork further enhance the sense of refinement and sophistication. This portrait of Empress Maria Theresa with the Holy Crown of Hungary is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Austria and Hungary. It is a reminder of the powerful and influential role that women have played in European history and the enduring allure of the crown as a symbol of power, prestige, and spiritual authority.
