EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century portrait captures the regal presence of Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Bohemia and Hungary, as depicted in a bronze fire-gilded bust sculpted by Franz Xaver Messerschmidt around 1760. Dressed in the elegant apparel of the Baroque era, Maria Theresa wears a richly colored cloak adorned with ermine fur, adding an air of grandeur and sophistication to her image. The intricate detailing of her clothing, from the delicate folds to the ornate embellishments, is a testament to the opulence of the period. Maria Theresa, whose full name was Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina, ruled as the sole sovereign of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1740 until her death in 1780. She was the last of the House of Habsburg to rule over a vast territory that encompassed much of Europe, including Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, and the Spanish Netherlands. This bronze bust, now housed in the Austrian Gallery Belvedere in Vienna, is a masterpiece of Late Baroque art. Messerschmidt's skillful use of metal and his attention to detail bring Maria Theresa's likeness to life, capturing the essence of her strength, intelligence, and beauty. The fire-gilding adds a warm, inviting glow to the sculpture, making it a true treasure of European heritage art.
