Mary, Queen of Heaven – Prince Paul I Esterházy’s Devotion to Mary

Pictures tell stories - they are visual testimonies of events, people and destinies. In this new exhibition at Forchtenstein Castle, curated by Florian Bayer and Margit Kopp, the focus is on paintings depicting strong women who overcame their male adversaries with courage and “cunning“. Around 350 years ago, these motifs were part of Prince Paul I Esterházy's pictorial programme at Eisenstadt Palace and Forchtenstein Castle.
