In its 29th edition, the special presentation Point of View, which regularly presents different artworks temporarily in the permanent exhibition of the Picture Gallery of the Kunsthistorische Museum, focuses on a masterful portrait of the nine-month-old Princess Maria Teresa of Naples and Sicily, allowing visitors to explore the work of the court painters Anton Raphael Mengs and Diego Velázquez.
In 1770, Anton Raphael Mengs (1728–1779), the celebrated court painter to King Charles III of Spain, returned to Italy to relax and at the same time to create portraits on behalf of his employer: in Naples he was to portray, among others, the family of King Ferdinand IV and his wife Maria Carolina of Austria. A highlight of this work can be seen as the now freshly restored portrait of Marie-Therese of Bourbon-Sicily, which shows the royal couple's first-born daughter.
The portrait of the approximately nine-month-old princess impresses with its artistic sophistication. With it, Mengs created a work that combines traditional representation with a new naturalness and liveliness. The picture thus reflects a changed conception of childhood that became widespread in the 18th century - influenced by the educational ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which Maria Carolina particularly valued.

If you haven&#39;t been there, you will feel that you have been to Versailles and the like. The garden is very large. You have to buy a ticket to take the small train. Otherwise, it is too tiring. The garden stone road is too dusty, especially in the dry weather of the big sun. All small attractions inside need tickets, have the strength and time to buy a Vienna pass, otherwise the ticket superimposition is still quite expensive.

Love the palace in the museum, I think it&rsquo;s very worthy visiting!!! a little bit expensive, but is still very worthy. Make sure you go earlier, cause there is just too many things to see.

It&#39;s quite good. There&#39;s a note at the door saying no taking photos, but you can still take photos if no one is watching. There&#39;s a free toilet at the door, don&#39;t go to the toilet next door that charges 1 euro. You don&#39;t need to buy a ticket, you can use the toilet. Learn about Sissi&#39;s history, there&#39;s a Chinese interpreter, scan the ticket, go upstairs and get it in the lobby. No English is a problem

The art museum is too worth a visit. I like the museum to arrange at least half a day. I can&#39;t see it at all. There are also beautiful cafes where you can take pictures and punch in.
