Master of the Archduchesses

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a master of archduchesses or master of archduchesses portraits a painter is sometimes late Baroque and Rococo called the 1765 a series of six or seven oil paintings with portraits of Habsburg Archduchess created at the Viennese court. These are the portraits of Maria Theresa's daughters and six of them are now in Schönbrunn Palace , in the children's room, which is named after the portraits of the Archduchesses.

The following were portrayed:

  • Maria Anna of Austria

  • Maria Christina of Austria

  • Maria Elisabeth of Austria

  • Maria Amalia of Austria

  • Maria Karolina of Austria

  • Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna of Austria

The style of the painter of these pictures, who is not known by name, is influenced by Martin van Meytens , the Dutch painter who worked at the Viennese court after 1740 and who was a preferred painter of the imperial family under the reign of Maria Theresa in Vienna; however, the master of the archduchesses is already more modern in his portraiture.

Two hundred years earlier, around 1565, a series of portraits of the Habsburg archduchesses had been created, which today are ascribed to Arcimboldo .
