About the piece

This mid-17th century Baroque masterpiece features Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in a position of triumphant authority. Clad in polished dark armor and mounted on a spirited white charger, he is attended by a winged putto who bestows a crown of laurel. The expansive sky and distant landscape suggest a moment of military victory or sovereign power, rendered with the luminous detail characteristic of the period.
