Imperial Butterflies
Gardens and their butterflies were much loved by the Imperial Family. Butterflies feature in the vivid murals in Schönbrunn Palace commissioned by Empress Maria Theresa and painted by the famous 18th-century Bohemian ornamentalist painter Johann Wenzel Bergl. Schönbrunn Palace was the imperial summer residence and became a glamorous focus of court life. The Hofburg in the centre of Vienna was for many centuries the centre of the Habsburg Empire and the winter palace of the Imperial family, like Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth. In its gardens is a wonderful art-nouveau Palm House where they would have found a quiet retreat from their busy schedules. Today, this building is home to the Imperial Butterfly House.
