About the Item

Portrait of Max Franz as coadjutor of the Teutonic Order Oil on canvas, 54 x 45 cm Maximilian Franz of Austria Austrian Archduke Maximilian II. Franz, was Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1780 and Elector and Archbishop of Cologne and Prince-Bishop of Münster from 1784 to 1801. He was influenced by the Enlightenment and sought to implement reforms in various political fields. In the course of the First Coalition War, his territories on the left bank of the Rhine were occupied and later incorporated into France. Maximilian Franz did not live to see the implementation of secularization and thus the end of the electoral state. It is quite possible that the badge in the painting represents the cross of the **German Order**. The Teutonic Order (Ordo Teutonicus) used a black cross on a white background as a symbol, and its members - especially high-ranking members such as the Grand Master - wore badges that were often designed in this shape. The cross on the man's chest has the typical shape of a so-called paw cross, which is often associated with the Teutonic Order. The Order used a black paw cross as the central element of its coat of arms and insignia. The badge is prominent and placed on the sitter's chest, which was typical for high-ranking members of the Order. The Teutonic Order was closely associated with the nobility, especially in the late 18th century, and nobles who were members of the Order often wore their badges proudly visible. Maximilian Franz of Austria, the youngest son of Maria Theresa, was indeed Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1780, so it would be historically correct for him to wear such a badge, and the cross would indicate his position in the Teutonic Order. In addition to the cross, the richly decorated uniform could also indicate that the person depicted held a prominent position in the military or in a knightly order. Such uniforms and medals were common for members of the Teutonic Order, especially high dignitaries such as the Grand Master. The badge on the chest does indeed look very similar to the symbol of the Teutonic Order, suggesting that the man in the painting was either a high-ranking member or possibly even the Grand Master of the Order. If the painting does indeed show Maximilian Franz of Austria, the badge would be absolutely appropriate and authentic.
