The Austrians fascinate me no end.
Their motto could have been make love not war.
Marie Antoinette was a Hapsburg who of course became Queen of France.
Her mother is one of my favorite people in history-- Empress Maria Thérèa.
This house was known to collect and commission the finest art objects.
They had discernment in spades.
Exciting!
