PLEASE READ SHIPPING DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BUYING! To learn more about us please click on our profile ON DEMAND WE ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (money-back-guarantee) Our friend and world’s best specialist in portrait miniatures Dr. Bodo Hofstetter (Montreaux, Switzerland) informed us, that it is a portrait of daughter of Austrian Empress Maria Theresia (and sister of French Queen Marie Antoinette), Archduchess Maria Elisabeth. She is depicted as Abbess of « Adelige Damenstift » (convent for noble nuns) in Innsbruck, which she led from 1781 to 1806. As our image nr.8 shows, this superb quality oil on copper miniature portrait is Johann Baptist Lampi the Elder’s own replica of his large oil (on canvas) portrait showing Maria Elisabeth with all atribbutes of her abbess post.This large portrait, which is still to see in Insbruck Damenstift, was painted in 1781, just at the begin of Archduchess new life period. Our small replica was made by Lampi surely on commission of Maria Elisabeth herself (obviously it was painted in the same year). Maria Elisabeth, Archduchess of Austria was born on 13th August 1743 in Vienna as 6th child (and 5th daughter) of Kaiserin (Empress) Maria Theresia of Austria and her consort, Franz I Stephan. She was very beauty, but her character was rather flighty and she had no distinct interests. Maria Theresia called she « coquette of beauty » and she was considered only as a bride in future important political marriage. Mother thought about the widowed King Louis XV, but daughter’s unexpexted illness (she was infected with smallpox) dished Maria Elisabeth’ beauty and marriage idea. In 1780, as Maria Theresia died, Maria Elisabeth and her unmarried sisters, Maria Anna and Maria Christina were ordered by their brother (and now new Kaiser) Joseph Ii to leave Vienna. Maria Elisabeth moved to Inssbruck, where in 1781 she became the abbess of « Adelige Damenstift ». In 1805 she fled from nearing Napoleon’s army to Viena and then to Linz where she resided until her death, on 22th September 1808. She was burried in the tomb of Linz cathedral « Alter Dom ». Johann Baptist Lampi the Elder (1751 Romeno, South Tyrol – 1830 Vienna) began his studies in the studio of his father, Matthias Lamp (1697-1780). In the age of 17 he came to his great-uncle P.A. Lorenzoni living in Salzburg and continued studying under F.X. Koenig and E.N. Streicher. After a short stay in Brixen, South Tyrol where he probably took lessons with Franz Sebald Unterberger, he moved to the Academy in Verona in 1771. His next teacher there became F. Lorenzi, under his direction Lampi the Elder obtained his academic diploma. In 1772 he married in Verona and soon moved to Triest where he was chiefly active as a portrait painter. In 1773 the Academy of Verona elected him to its member. Invited by Count Heister, Governor of Tyrol at that time, Lampi came to Innsbruck in 1779 and stayed in that city until 1781, portraying various important persons a.o. Archduchesses Elizabeth and Marianne. From 1781 to 1782 he was active in Klagenfurt, where he changed his name Lamp to Italian « Lampi ». From 1783 he lived in Vienna, where he found access to the higher circles of society though noble protecteurs. He painted several portraits of emperor Josef II, having joined the Academy of Arts in 1785, where he became Professor for historical painting. In 1788 Lampi came to Warsaw where he portrayed the King and various high aristocrats. In 1790-1791 he was back in Vienna. On October 21st 1791, Lampi arrived (by invitation of Prince Grigori Potyomkin – Russian chief-commander in Bessarabia) to Potyomkin’s Headquarter in Jassy (at that time – Russian province Bessarabia, today – Romania) but soon left for St. Petersburg, having missed Potyomkin by only five days (the latter died on October 16th). In St. Petersburg, where he arrived in the early 1792, Lampi the Elder immediately became a court artist. He stayed in the Russian capital six-years-long (in 1795 he was joined there by his eldest son Johann Baptist Lampi the Younger; 1775-1837). In 1798, after his return to Vienna (1797), he was ennobled by Emperor Franz I to Baron. In 1799 Lampi received the title of an Honorary Citizen of Vienna.
