In its 29th edition, the special presentation Point of View, which regularly presents different artworks temporarily in the permanent exhibition of the Picture Gallery of the Kunsthistorische Museum, focuses on a masterful portrait of the nine-month-old Princess Maria Teresa of Naples and Sicily, allowing visitors to explore the work of the court painters Anton Raphael Mengs and Diego Velázquez.
In 1770, Anton Raphael Mengs (1728–1779), the celebrated court painter to King Charles III of Spain, returned to Italy to relax and at the same time to create portraits on behalf of his employer: in Naples he was to portray, among others, the family of King Ferdinand IV and his wife Maria Carolina of Austria. A highlight of this work can be seen as the now freshly restored portrait of Marie-Therese of Bourbon-Sicily, which shows the royal couple's first-born daughter.
The portrait of the approximately nine-month-old princess impresses with its artistic sophistication. With it, Mengs created a work that combines traditional representation with a new naturalness and liveliness. The picture thus reflects a changed conception of childhood that became widespread in the 18th century - influenced by the educational ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which Maria Carolina particularly valued.

Love the palace in the museum, I think it&rsquo;s very worthy visiting!!! a little bit expensive, but is still very worthy. Make sure you go earlier, cause there is just too many things to see.

One of the oldest theme parks in Europe. Home to 2 Ferris wheels. The first of which was built before the war. Lots of variation of rides. The park looks amazing when it is lit up in the evening.

Vienna City Hall is located on the west side of the Ringstrasse. It is a typical neo-Gothic building with five towering spires. The square in front of the hall and the People&#39;s Park are connected to form the most beautiful Christmas market in the world.

The art museum is definitely worth a visit. If you like museums, you should at least set aside half a day. There is no time to see it all. There is also a nice cafe inside where you can take photos and check in.
