EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Wenzel Anton, Furst (Prince) von Kaunitz-Rietberg, an Austrian statesman and chancellor who served at the court of Maria Theresa from 1753 until her death in 1780. Born in 1711, Kaunitz rose through the ranks of the imperial bureaucracy, demonstrating exceptional diplomatic skills and a deep understanding of European politics. He played a pivotal role in shaping Austria's foreign policy during a period of great turmoil, including the Seven Years' War and the Turkish Wars. Kaunitz's influence extended beyond Austria's borders, as he negotiated treaties with France, Prussia, and Russia, among others. His diplomatic achievements earned him the title of "the Austrian Fox," reflecting his cunning and strategic prowess. This portrait, likely painted during his tenure as chancellor, showcases Kaunitz's regal bearing and intelligence, capturing the essence of a man who wielded significant power and influence during one of Europe's most tumultuous eras. Dating from the late 18th century, this image offers a glimpse into the world of Austrian politics and the remarkable figure of Wenzel Anton, Furst von Kaunitz-Rietberg.
