About the Item
Portrait of Max Franz as coadjutor of the Teutonic Order
Oil on canvas, 54 x 45 cm
Maximilian Franz of Austria
Austrian Archduke Maximilian II. Franz, was Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1780 and Elector and Archbishop of Cologne and Prince-Bishop of Münster from 1784 to 1801. He was influenced by the Enlightenment and sought to implement reforms in various political fields. In the course of the First Coalition War, his territories on the left bank of the Rhine were occupied and later incorporated into France. Maximilian Franz did not live to see the implementation of secularization and thus the end of the electoral state.
It is quite possible that the badge in the painting represents the cross of the **German Order**. The Teutonic Order (Ordo Teutonicus) used a black cross on a white background as a symbol, and its members - especially high-ranking members such as the Grand Master - wore badges that were often designed in this shape.
The cross on the man's chest has the typical shape of a so-called paw cross, which is often associated with the Teutonic Order. The Order used a black paw cross as the central element of its coat of arms and insignia.
The badge is prominent and placed on the sitter's chest, which was typical for high-ranking members of the Order. The Teutonic Order was closely associated with the nobility, especially in the late 18th century, and nobles who were members of the Order often wore their badges proudly visible.
Maximilian Franz of Austria, the youngest son of Maria Theresa, was indeed Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1780, so it would be historically correct for him to wear such a badge, and the cross would indicate his position in the Teutonic Order.
In addition to the cross, the richly decorated uniform could also indicate that the person depicted held a prominent position in the military or in a knightly order. Such uniforms and medals were common for members of the Teutonic Order, especially high dignitaries such as the Grand Master.
The badge on the chest does indeed look very similar to the symbol of the Teutonic Order, suggesting that the man in the painting was either a high-ranking member or possibly even the Grand Master of the Order. If the painting does indeed show Maximilian Franz of Austria, the badge would be absolutely appropriate and authentic.

After Jean-Baptiste Van Loo, Portrait of King Louis XV of France (1710-1774)
Located in Queens, NY
After Jean-Baptiste Van Loo, A Portrait of King Louis XV of France (1710-1774)
A magnificent quality three-quarter length portrait of King Louis XV of France and Navarre, painted in the 18th century after Jean-Baptiste Van Loo.
Oil on canvas, in the original carved and gilt wood frame.
Canvas: 40" high x 32" wide
Frame: 46.5" high x 39" wide
Very good condition, ready to hang. No damages noted.
The present composition follows a portrait of Louis XV painted by Jean-Baptiste Van Loo in 1726-1727, today in Versailles. (Oil on canvas. 198.5 by 143 cm. Inv. no. MV 6942.)
There were several full-length portraits painted by Van Loo of the young Louis XV, and all were executed in the years of or after his majority, 1723, when he took full control of government, wresting power from the Régent, his great-uncle Philippe, Duc d'Orléans. A slightly larger version (205 by 171 cm), in which the pose and surrounding paraphernalia mirrors that of the present work, is in the Château de Versailles, while another, in which Louis stands more front-on, his pointing right index-finger now tucked in, and with a different background arrangement, is also in Versailles. Further versions of this latter are in Nice, Musée Chéret and the Musée de Perpignan.
The composition of all of these full-lengths would appear to derive from Van Loo's large equestrian portrait of Louis XV, painted in collaboration with Charles Parrocel, which was commissioned in 1723 by the Surintendance for Charles de Lorraine. Louis is depicted in similar armour and costume, astride his horse, similarly turned three-quarters to the left and his right arm outstretched. Most subsequent depictions of Louis followed this original design, including, for example, Carle Van...
