This allegorical history painting is one of the last great works Friedrich Heinrich Füger. Emperor Franz I./II. is shown here as a man but as antique-style bust. Thus it is raised to a higher, classic, timeless level. Three Genii hold the attributes cornucopia, palm and laurel wreath, which stand for wealth and fertility, peace and victory. About the stone bust of triangular rays Nimbus symbolizes the Christian Trinity. The personification of belief (Agenzia) on the right side is shown as a Roman Vestal with cross. The garlanded with reeds river god is the Danube. The people from the people on the left ask for justice, peace and prosperity. A man holding the iron shackles on high, points to the liberation of the Napoleonic domination (1814). The plinth inscription refers to this as Franz I./II. referred to herein as the liberator of the home and the church. The latter title earned the Emperor by the withdrawal of many reforms of his uncle Joseph II. Predecessors of this painting are, according to Michael Krapf the "Apotheosis of Emperor Joseph II." (1779) and "Venetia and Dalmatia homage Emperor Francis II." (1797) by the same artist. [¹] Robert Keil points out that had Füger showed a live image "Emperor Franz as the liberator of Germania and Austrias" already on 23 February 1814 staged. Even here, the emperor was represented as a bust [²]. Notes: [1] Krapf, Michael, in:. History of Fine Art in Austria, Vol 5, ed. v. Gerbert Frodl, Munich et al 2002, p.336 f.
