EDITORS COMMENTS
Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria (1662-1726) is depicted in this exquisite pastel portrait by the French artist Joseph Vivien (1657-1734). The elector, dressed in the robes of the Order of the Golden Fleece, gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and resolute expression. Maximilian II Emanuel ruled Bavaria during a tumultuous period, marked by the Great Turkish War (1683-1699), which saw the Battle of Vienna in 1683, a crucial victory against the Ottoman Empire. The elector played a significant role in the defense of Europe against the Ottoman threat, leading Bavarian troops and coordinating efforts with other European powers. The portrait, created in the Rococo style, showcases Vivien's mastery of the pastel medium. The delicate application of color and the intricate details of the elector's attire and accessories are rendered with great skill and finesse. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, creating a sense of three-dimensionality. Maximilian II Emanuel's portrait is a testament to his leadership and military prowess during a critical time in European history. The image serves as a reminder of the elector's significant contributions to the defense of Europe against the Ottoman Empire and the importance of the arts during the Rococo period. This beautiful pastel portrait is a rare and valuable work of art, preserved in a private collection and a testament to the enduring legacy of both Maximilian II Emanuel and Joseph Vivien.
