EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pastel on canvas portrait, created by the renowned Swiss artist Jean-Étienne Liotard (1702-1789), captures the regal presence of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (1717-1780). The portrait, which is part of a private collection, showcases the monarch in her grandest attire, adorned with the prestigious Holy Crown of Hungary. The crown, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, is a symbol of the Kingdom of Hungary's sovereignty and historical significance. Maria Theresa, who ruled the Austrian Empire from 1740 until her death in 1780, is depicted with an air of authority and grace. Her piercing gaze and confident posture convey her strong leadership and determination. The intricate details of her elaborate gown, adorned with precious jewels and embroidery, reflect the opulence of the Rococo period in which she reigned. The Holy Crown of Hungary, which dates back to the 10th century, is a magnificent piece of historical artifact. It is adorned with precious stones, gold, and pearls, and is believed to have been worn by numerous Hungarian monarchs throughout history. In this portrait, the crown adds an extra layer of grandeur and significance to the already impressive image of Empress Maria Theresa. Liotard, a master of pastel painting, expertly captures the subtle nuances of light and shadow, as well as the intricate details of the empress's attire and the crown. This portrait is a testament to the artist's skill and the grandeur of the Austrian court during the Rococo period. It is a precious piece of art and historical significance, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage of Austria and Hungary.
