The study of the arrival at Court of Maria Anna of Neuburg, forms part of the author’s doctoral thesis, which is completed with the study of the arrival at Court of María Luisa of Orleans in1680 (published by the FAH in 2000). The thesis won the City of Madrid “Antonio Maura” Scientific Research Award in 1992. This study analyses the architecture, paintings, statues, inscriptions, poems and hieroglyphics through which those responsible for the iconological and iconographical programme attempted to express the ideas they wanted to propagate with this arrival: To show an idealised image of the new sovereign and of the royal marriage, thus exalting the monarchy.
