About the Item

Moritz Christian Johann Reichsgraf von Fries (6 May 1777 – 26 December 1826) was an Austrian nobleman, banker and patron of the arts. He was born in Vienna as the youngest son of Count Johann von Fries (1719-1785), one of the richest men in the Holy Roman Empire, thanks to many successful financial and industrial ventures and his wife Anna d’Escherny (1737-1807). He had three surviving siblings, Count Joseph Johann von Fries (1755-1788), Countess Ursula Viktoria von Schönfeld (1767-1805) and Countess Anna Philippina von Haugwitz (1769-1842). Today, von Fries is principally remembered for his patronage of the musical life of Vienna. Condition: Good, general age-related toning. Minor wear, blank verso. Please study image carefully.
