"Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie, duchess in Bavaria (also called Sisi, also known as Sissi since the Ernst Marischka films, born December 24, 1837 in Munich, Kingdom of Bavaria, † September 10, 1898 in Geneva) was a princess from the ducal Nebenlinie Pfalz-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld-Gelnhausen of the house Wittelsbach, by her marriage with her cousin Franz Joseph I from 1854 Empress of Austria and Apostolic Queen of Hungary.
When Elisabeth returned to the Viennese court after almost two years of absence, she had turned from a timid and pale young woman to a more self-confident monarch, who also made demands. During this time, the portraits of Franz Xaver Winterhalter were created. The best known is the painting from 1865, which shows Elisabeth in Hofgala with diamond stars in her hair (see picture above). She never felt well at court in Vienna and took every opportunity to avoid etiquette. The contemporary, Princess Nora Fugger, described the Empress in her biography: "The duties of representation weighed heavily on the Empress, the diamond crown pressed her head. Every sumptuous event, every court festival was an abomination to her. There was always something forced in her nature when she took part in the court festivities. [...] The Empress increasingly withdrew from society, and also from the eyes of the people."
