EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print showcases the regal presence of Maria Anna of Austria, Queen of Portugal. Created by Christoph Weigel in the 17th century, this artwork is now housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. Maria Anna, an Archduchess of Austria, assumed her role as Queen consort when she married King John V of Portugal. However, her influence extended far beyond that title. During her husband's illness from 1742 to 1750, Maria Anna took on the responsibility as Regent of Portugal with grace and determination. In this formal portrait, Maria Anna exudes power and elegance. The oval frame emphasizes her royal status while intricate inscriptions add a touch of grandeur to the composition. Rendered in monochrome tones with trompe l'oeil techniques, this engraving captures every detail with remarkable precision. The artist masterfully portrays Maria Anna's regalia and regency through his meticulous craftsmanship. Her commanding presence is evident as she gazes confidently into the distance. This print serves as a testament to both her beauty and strength as a female ruler during a time when such positions were rare. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and admire. It stands not only as a tribute to Maria Anna's significant contributions but also as a reminder of women who defied societal norms to leave their mark on history.
