The "Wedding Breakfast of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis of Lorraine, later Francis I, 1736" is a significant historical painting by Martin II Mytens, also known as Martin van Meytens, a Dutch-Swedish painter who became a prominent court artist in Vienna. This artwork captures a pivotal moment in European history, depicting the wedding breakfast—a traditional celebration following the wedding ceremony—of Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis Stephen of Lorraine. The marriage, which took place on February 12, 1736, was not just a union of two individuals but also a strategic alliance that had profound implications for the political landscape of Europe.

Martin van Meytens' painting is celebrated for its intricate detail, historical accuracy, and the insight it provides into the customs and fashions of the 18th-century Habsburg court. The artist's ability to portray the opulence of the event and the personalities of the figures makes this work an invaluable document of the time. Maria Theresa, who would later become the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and the last of the House of Habsburg, is depicted alongside her husband, Francis Stephen, who would go on to become Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. Their marriage solidified the bond between the House of Habsburg and the House of Lorraine, setting the stage for Maria Theresa's eventual ascension to power.

The painting not only serves as a visual record of a significant dynastic event but also reflects the social and political contexts of the era. Meytens' attention to detail, from the luxurious garments and decorations to the expressions and demeanor of the subjects, offers viewers a glimpse into the ceremonial aspects of royal life. The "Wedding Breakfast of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis of Lorraine, later Francis I, 1736" is thus not only a masterpiece of portraiture but also a document of immense historical value, providing insight into the complexities of European diplomacy, power dynamics, and cultural practices of the 18th century.
