EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures Infanta Maria Luisa of Spain (1745-1792), the Holy Roman Empress, adorned with the Star Cross Order. Painted by the Florentine artist Gaetano Piattoli (1703-1774), this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the grandeur and elegance of the subject. Infanta Maria Luisa, also known as Maria Ludovica or Maria Luisa of Spain, was the daughter of King Philip V of Spain and Elizabeth Farnese. She was married to Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany, Pietro Leopoldo, in 1765. The Star Cross Order, which she wears in the portrait, is a prestigious decoration of the House of Habsburg and Tuscany. The order was founded by Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici in 1693 and is one of the oldest and most distinguished orders in Europe. The portrait is a fine example of the Rococo style, which emphasizes light, grace, and elegance. Piattoli masterfully captures the delicate features and regal presence of Infanta Maria Luisa, who gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and poised expression. The intricate details of her elaborate dress, the rich colors, and the delicate folds of the fabric add to the overall grandeur of the painting. The portrait was likely commissioned by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo to celebrate the marriage of his wife and the alliance between Tuscany and Spain. It is now a cherished piece in a private collection, a testament to the artistic and historical significance of this remarkable woman and the era in which she lived.
