EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases Francis I of Austria, a significant historical figure who played a pivotal role in the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. Painted by Franz Xaver Winterhalter, this portrait captures the essence of Francis II, who was also known as the last Holy Roman Emperor. Francis II's reign spanned from 1792 to 1806 when he made the difficult decision to dissolve the Holy Roman Empire after suffering a decisive defeat at the hands of Napoleon and his First French Empire during the Battle of Austerlitz. However, this setback did not deter him from establishing what would later become known as the Austrian Empire in 1804. Becoming Francis I (Franz I), he became Austria's first emperor and ruled with great authority until his death in 1835. This earned him an extraordinary title - Doppelkaiser or double emperor - due to his unique position as both ruler of Austria and former Holy Roman Emperor. Winterhalter's lithograph beautifully portrays Francis I in half-length view, donning an impressive uniform that reflects his power and stature. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every intricate feature that defines this influential leader. Now preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Francis I's legacy and contributions to European history.
