Leopoldina who were discovered over the last five years. One of them is an unpublished miniature made by Bernhard von GuErard that shows the then Archduchess at 10 years old, another is an engraving that was published in the book Vaterländische Immortellen aus dem Gebiete der österreichischen Geschichte, which can be translated as “Immortals of the Fatherland in the Austrian historical context”. The book, published in 1840, shows several Austrian heroes and elevates D. Leopoldina to this category. After all, in the eyes of her native country, she made the sacrifice of leaving Europe to get married in America and thus strengthen ties between Austria and Brazil, expanding the limits of her powerful Austrian house.The image they chose to celebrate her was her landing in Brazil alongside her husband d.
