Huwelijk van Maria Christina, aartshertogin van Oostenrijk en Albert, hertog van Saksen-Teschen 1766

This silver medal, created by Anton Franz Widemann in 1766, commemorates the marriage of Maria Christina, Archduchess of Austria, and Albert, Duke of Saxe-Teschen. The obverse features the couple in profile, while the reverse depicts a scene symbolizing their union, possibly with allegorical figures representing the couple. This small, yet detailed, piece of medallic art exemplifies the artistry of the late Baroque period and provides a glimpse into the commemorative practices of the time.
