Maria Theresa


Maria Theresa (1717-1780) was empress as the consort of Francis I, who ruled from 1745 to 1765, and queen of Bohemia and Hungary from 1740 to 1780. She was the daughter of Emperor Charles VI. She succeeded to the Hapsburg lands. During her reign, Vienna became, with Gluck and Mozart, the foremost musical center of Europe. This painting by Austrian artist Martin van Meytens (1695-1770) hangs in the Royal Portrait Gallery in Vienna, Austria.
