Yet the pared-down sculpture in white marble reveals little about the sitter’s identity. Elisabeth’s legendary cascade of hair is concealed beneath a shawl pulled tightly across her cheeks and around her neck. Her head tilts downward, her expression serious and introspective. Twardowski-Conrat was one of the few women artists of her generation to achieve success in sculpture. Her works, including numerous busts and monuments, were exhibited at venues such as the Vienna Secession.Sculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/634/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/88428/fullModel for an Equestrian Monument to Emperor Franz Joseph I1908[Carl Otto Czeschka, Franz Metzner]Franz MetznerBronzeSculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/1115/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/90041/fullEmperor Franz Joseph I in the Regalia of the Order of the Golden Fleece1893[Edmund Pölz]Edmund PölzOil on canvasPaintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4895/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/7372/fullEmpress Elisabeth with Saint Bernard Dog1883[Anton Romako, Elisabeth von Österreich]Anton RomakoOil on wood Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1837–1898) - better known as Sisi - exudes an almost feral quality in this painting. She seems motionless. Her skin is pallid. Her lengthy hair tied back with a diadem cascades down her body and upper arms. A pearl necklace wound repeatedly around her neck covers her décolletage. Her upper body is laced into a tight bodice. A shawl whose pattern is reminiscent of big cats’ fur conceals her lower arms. Her hands appear devoid of bones. In front of Elisabeth there is a Saint Bernard dog that had become her constant companion in the later years of her life. With his portrait of Empress Elisabeth, Romako once again broke with all pictorial conventions. It has nothing in common with traditional portraits of monarchs, which were always painted according to the same model. The picture was produced in Geneva, where Elisabeth liked to stay and was ultimately murdered in 1898. If at all, Romako had only seen her from a distance. Like most artists, he had to make do with photographs. We can be certain that Elisabeth never set eyes on Romako’s portrait.Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3213/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/89717/fullKaiser Franz Joseph I.before 1889[Unbekannter Künstler]Unbekannter KünstlerWeißer Marmor auf weißem MarmorsockelSculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/66287/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/35686/fullEmperor Franz Joseph I, aged 231853[Anton Dominik von Fernkorn]Anton Dominik von FernkornBronzeSculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4263/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/88936/fullEmperor Franz Joseph I in the Full-Dress Uniform of an Austrian Field Marshal1851[Anton Einsle]Anton EinsleOil on canvasPaintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/51215/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/87120/fullEmperor Franz Joseph Ic. 1855[Carl Cauer]Carl CauerBronzeSculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3403/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/115698/fullEmpress Elisabethundated[Franz Xaver Winterhalter, Elisabeth von Österreich]Franz Xaver WinterhalterOil on canvasPaintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4380/rdf
