"Maximilian Emanuel, Prince Elector of Bavaria" is an oil on canvas portrait by the French painter Joseph Vivien, depicting Maximilian II Emanuel, the Elector of Bavaria. The artwork is a notable example of Vivien's mastery in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the grandeur and dignity of his subjects. Maximilian II Emanuel was a significant political figure in Europe during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, known for his military campaigns and his role in the War of the Spanish Succession.

The portrait is characterized by its rich detail and the opulence of the Elector's attire, reflecting his status and the baroque aesthetic of the period. Vivien's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics to the intricate lace and armor, contribute to the lifelike presence of the subject. The painting not only serves as a historical record of the Elector's appearance but also as an example of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time.

Joseph Vivien (1657–1734) was a celebrated portraitist at various European courts, and his works were highly regarded for their realism and psychological depth. His portraits of royalty and nobility were particularly sought after, and this painting of Maximilian Emanuel is a testament to his reputation as a leading portrait painter of his era.

The portrait is part of a larger body of work that documents the political and social elite of the late Baroque period in Europe. It is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important piece in the study of European portraiture. The painting is also valuable for its historical significance, providing insight into the representation of power and the visual culture of the Bavarian court.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is presumed to have been completed during Vivien's tenure as a court painter in Munich, where he worked from 1715 until his death in 1734. The portrait of Maximilian Emanuel is one of several works by Vivien that illustrate his prominence as a portrait artist in the early 18th century and his contribution to the visual legacy of European aristocracy.
