Maria Amalia of Saxony

Artist: Louis de Silvestre (French, 1675–1760)

Date: 1738

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

Painted in relation to the sitter’s forthcoming marriage to Charles VII of Naples, future Charles III of Spain, this portrait has an elegance and refinement that reflects the prevailing Rococo court style. The splendour and grandeur of Rigaud’s court portraits is here tempered in favour of a more delicate, decorative manner. Daughter of Frederick Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, María Amalia is dressed “à la polonaise”. In her right hand she holds a portrait miniature of her future husband. The royal crown of Naples rests on the side table.
