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.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

you***in

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.

Hofburg Palace

Quite good, the door is written not to let pictures, but no one cares or can take pictures. There is a free bathroom at the door, don&#39;t go to the bathroom next door to collect 1 euro. No need to buy a ticket, the bathroom can be used. Know the history of Sissi, there is a Chinese interpreter, scan the ticket, go upstairs and take it in the lobby. I don&#39;t know English properly.

Museums

150***10

The art museum is definitely worth a visit. If you like museums, you should at least set aside half a day. There is no time to see it all. There is also a nice cafe inside where you can take photos and check in.
