Isabella von Geldern, Statue, Statuette, Terracotta
um 1600 | Francesco Terzio
In the early 17th century Archduke Maximilian III commissioned a series of statuettes that shows the princely members of the house of Austria with their wives and also Saint George, the patron saint of the family. The line of the Habsburgs begins with King Rudolf I (1218–1291) and ends with Emperor Rudolf II (1552–1612). The model for the statuettes were the bronze statues surrounding the cenotaph of Emperor Maximilian I in the Hofkirche Innsbruck and two historiographic works produced at the behest of Archduke Ferdinand II: the Imagines Gentis and the Tirolensium Principum.
