From the Alexander Christopher Collection.
Joseph Wenzel was an extremely successful general across several wars. He participated in the Austro-Turkish War alongside Prince Eugene of Savoy and also took part in the War of Polish Succession again alongside Prince Eugene. He was made Generalissimo of Italy during the War of Austrian Succession and resoundingly crushed the combined French and Spanish armies during the Battle of Piacenza in 1746. He also reorganized the Austrian artillery service and served as a diplomat for various Austrian missions. He assumed the position of regent in 1745 for an heir who was only eight years of age and took over as Prince of Lichtenstein in 1748 and ruled until his death in 1772.
