  • The Reigning Woman As a Heroic Monarch? Maria Theresa Traced As Sovereign, Wife, and Mother
    The Reigning Woman as a Heroic Monarch? Maria Theresa Traced as Sovereign, Wife, and Mother Anne-Marie Metzger The Empress is one of the most beautiful princesses in Europe: despite all her vigils and puerperia, she has held up very well. When she was younger, she loved hunting, games, and theatre. Today, her only pleasures are governing her empire and the education of her children.1 This quotation from Carl Joseph, Baron of Fürst and Kupferberg, contains essen- tial aspects that can be found very often in representations of Maria Theresa: the dual nature of her representation, namely on one hand the monarch and on the other the mother. Maria Theresa consciously used – among others – these two elements to create her identity. It is interesting to see how contemporaries per- ceived these two contrary public personas and how these personas promoted the adoration of Maria Theresa as an “Austrian heroine”,2 as she was called in a eulo- gy for her husband, Francis Stephen.3 The impact was at any rate so strong that 1 All English translations, unless otherwise indicated, are my own. “Die Kaiserin ist eine der schönsten Prinzessinnen Europas: all ihren Nachtwachen und Wochenbetten zum Trotz hat sie sich sehr gut erhalten. Früher liebte sie Jagd, Spiel und Theater. Das einzige, woran sie jetzt Geschmack findet, ist die Regierung ihres Staates und die Erziehung ihrer Kinder.” Carl Joseph Maximilian Freiherr von Fürst und Kupferberg.

Of Dutch origins and born in Sweden, Martin van Meytens the Younger developed his specific style, for which he borrowed from diverse European models and which he later successfully passed on to numerous students, during several lengthy sojourns in France, England, and Italy. Originally trained as a painter of miniatures, Meytens perfected monumental painting over the years while always remaining true to portraiture, apart from a few forays into other figural genres. The focus of this exhibition is on his fascinating portraits and the art of his most important pupils, including that of Joseph Hickel. Martin van Meytens is taking place in Vienna the city where the artist, following extensive stays in a number of other countries, spent more than half of his life and where he left behind impressive traces -Arco. Like no other artist, Martin van Meytens the Younger succeeded in documenting the protagonists of the legendary age of Maria Theresa in his portraits.

  • Upcoming Exhibitions 2017
    UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS 2017 MARCH 7, - THE FIRST GOLD JUNE 25, 2017 ADA TEPE: EUROPE’S OLDEST GOLDMINE On March 7th the Kunsthistorisches Museum opens an exhibition showcasing Europe’s oldest goldmine together with the largest Bronze Age gold hoard ever discovered. A few years ago the sensational discovery of Europe’s oldest goldmine at Ada Tepe (Bulgaria) made international headlines. In collaboration with the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and using state-of-the-art technology, scholars are trying to determine if this is where the gold used for the artefacts comprising Priam’s legendary treasure and those found in the royal graves at Mycenae was mined. Recent scholarly findings form the basis for this exhibition, which looks at, among other things, transnational Bronze Age trade routes and the role of gold as an elite status symbol. A virtual reconstruction and finds from the mine document how the people who toiled there lived. A reflection of the period’s wealth and technical skills, the Valchitran Treasure comprises around 12,5 kilograms of gold and forms the core of the show. Selected gold masterpieces produced during the late classical/Hellenistic period and the Roman Empire document the importance of Bulgarian gold, which can look back on 3500 years of history. This exhibition is organised by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in collaboration with the National Archaeological Institute and Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Science, Sofia (NAIM), and the Institute for Oriental and European Archaeology of the Austrian Academy of Science(OREA).

  • Hunting with the Empress: Hunting, Gender and Dynastic Ambition at the Court of Charles VI
    Hunting with the Empress: Hunting, Gender and Dynastic Ambition at the Court of Charles VI and Maria Theresa By Thomas Stokes Submitted to Professors Lisa Jane Graham and Darin Hayton In partial fulfillment of the requirement of History 400: Senior Thesis Seminar Abstract In the first half of the eighteenth century, the Habsburg family faced a dynastic crisis. Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI had no sons to inherit his kingdom. Consequently, he presented his daughter, Maria Theresa, as his heir making her the first female Habsburg regent after centuries of patrilineal descent. Contemporary gender ideals and international and internal attempts to disrupt Habsburg hegemony obstructed Maria Theresa from a smooth dynastic transition. This thesis investigates strategies employed by Maria Theresa and her father that strengthened her claim and identity as a female regent. Some strategies blurred the gender divide embedded in contemporary thoughts on patriarchal society. Others highlighted Maria Theresa’s effeminate virtues. Court hunting provides the most informative example of imperial strategies legitimizing Maria Theresa’s inheritance. The hunting vulture espoused by the Habsburg court expressed the authority of its monarch. More specifically for Maria Theresa, hunting helped characterize her as a powerful female leader by highlighting female participation in hunting and female influence on hunting culture. I start by introducing the political background of Austria and Europe in the eighteenth century and Charles’ issuing of the Pragmatic Sanction. The next section describes Maria Theresa’s state building projects and the gender dynamic in her public identity. The third section transitions into hunting highlighting the social and political implications of the sport at Charles VI’s court.
