Description

Explore the life and image of Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1837-1898) in this scholarly work from University of Delaware Press. Known as the most beautiful woman in Europe, the wife of Emperor Francis Joseph I left a massive visual legacy through glamorous painted portraits by Franz Xaver Winterhalter and widely collected photographs. This book examines how Elisabeth's public image was constructed and maintained. While her beauty was cemented in popular culture by the Sissi film trilogy (1955-57), this text provides a new perspective by looking at her role in producing her own portraiture. It investigates how these images helped transform the way monarchs were perceived by the public. Perfect for readers interested in art history, photography, and the history of celebrity, this book offers a deep look at the influence of a royal icon. It moves beyond simple biography to analyze the visual tools used to create a lasting legend.
