The commission to create two statues of the imperial couple was probably the most important in Franz Xaver Messerschmidt’s career. Their presentation was widely reported in the press.

Messerschmidt shows Maria Theresa as a young woman with Hungarian costume and the royal regalia, which he represented imaginatively rather than accurately. On her chest she wears a medallion with a portrait of her husband, Emperor Francis Stephen I, and the jewel of the Order of the Golden Fleece, otherwise reserved exclusively for men.

The two statues were first transferred from the Hofburg to the Belvedere in 1773. Following several further moves, they have been permanently located at the Belvedere since 1921.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Sculpture</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/8040/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/18096/full</schema:image><schema:name>Emperor Francis I Stephen of Lorraine and Empress Maria Theresa</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1759</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Franz Anton Wideman, G.

This was to show his gratitude to Maria Theresa after she had commissioned a bust of the prince from sculptor Balthasar Ferdinand Moll as a tribute to Liechtenstein’s services as a field marshal.

Messerschmidt’s bronze portraits of the monarch and her consort, Francis Stephen I, appear both dignified and full of life. They were placed on display, together with Moll’s bust of the prince, in the Emperor’s Hall of the Imperial-Royal Armory, as historical watercolors document. These stores for the imperial weapons’ collection in the center of Vienna were demolished in the 1860s.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Sculpture</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3005/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/12520/full</schema:image><schema:name>Emperor Francis I Stephen</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>c. 1745/1765</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Martin van Meytens d.
