EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the grandeur and opulence of the coronation procession of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790. The scene unfolds in Romerberg, Austria, in the year 1764. Measuring an impressive 358x412 cm, this artwork by Martin II Mytens or Meytens showcases a momentous event in European history. The image depicts a bustling townscape adorned with vibrant banners and flags fluttering in the wind. A guard of honor stands tall and proud as they line the streets, creating an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence. At the center of attention is a magnificent canopy under which Joseph II proceeds towards his crowning ceremony. Joseph II was not only a ruler but also a patron of arts and sciences during his reign. As the eldest son of Empress Maria Theresa and Francis I, he held significant influence over Habsburg lands for ten years until his death in 1790. Interestingly, he was also known as Marie Antoinette's brother. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where power was displayed through elaborate processions steeped in tradition. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence that can be found within Austrian culture.
