EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas portrait captures the ethereal beauty and regal grace of Princess Maria Annunciata of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Archduchess of Austria (1843-1871). Painted by the renowned Austrian artist Franz Schrotzberg (1811-1889), this portrait showcases the artist's masterful use of light and color to bring the young princess to life. Born in Palermo, Sicily, Maria Annunciata was the eldest daughter of King Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies and his wife, Maria Theresa of Austria. In 1854, she married Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria, becoming the Archduchess of Austria. The marriage was a politically strategic one, aimed at strengthening the ties between Austria and the Two Sicilies. Schrotzberg's portrait of Maria Annunciata was likely painted during her time in Austria, where she lived until her husband's death in 1867. The painting captures her in a formal, yet elegant pose, with her hands delicately folded in her lap and her eyes gazing off into the distance. Her intricately detailed gown, adorned with lace and pearls, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Habsburg court. Despite her young age, Maria Annunciata is depicted with a sense of maturity and poise, reflecting the responsibilities and duties that came with her role as an archduchess. Schrotzberg's expert use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the painting, bringing out the subtle details of the princess's features and the richness of her attire. This beautiful portrait is a testament to the artistic talent of Franz Schrotzberg and the enduring beauty of the subject he captured. It offers a glimpse into the life of a young princess who played an important role in the political landscape of Europe during the 19th century.
