EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Countess Szechenyi, 1828" is a remarkable example of the Biedermeier period in Vienna. Painted by Ferdinand Georg Waldmuller, this oil on fabric masterpiece showcases the artist's romantic fascination with nature and his patriotic devotion to Austria. The Countess Szechenyi herself, Crescentia Seilern, was a prestigious member of the aristocracy who married Hungarian reformist patriot IstvAan Szechenyi. In this portrait, she sits gracefully in traditional costume, wearing a beautiful white dress adorned with a blue shawl. Her smile exudes warmth and elegance as she holds a parrot perched on her hand. Behind her stands an awe-inspiring Austrian landscape with majestic mountains that symbolize both Waldmuller's love for nature and his deep connection to his homeland. The painting perfectly captures the essence of Viennese life and culture during this era. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artwork reflects not only Waldmuller's artistic talent but also the Hapsburg government's promotion of positive depictions of Viennese society.
