Description
13 May 1888 saw the unveiling of a large monument situated between the two Court Museums as part of the Ringstrasse ensemble. Still one of Viennaââ¬â¢s landmarks, it glorifies Maria Theresia, who sits enthroned, high and mighty above her advisors and generals. The monument depicts Maria Theresa in her best-known aspects, as a mother figure and as an enlightened yet absolutist reformer. Gathered around her as pillars of the throneââ¬â¢ are her chosen political supporters and other contemporary figures.
