The Congress of Vienna: Sitting of the Plenipotentiaries of the Eight Powers who Signed the Treaty o Creator: Unknown.

The Congress of Vienna: Sitting of the Plenipotentiaries of the Eight Powers who Signed the Treaty of Paris in 1815 - from the large painting by Isabey, 1856. 'This memorable scene in the diplomatic history of Europe - at which were made arrangements which formed the last general settlement of the affairs of Europe - derives additional interest at the present moment from its being placed in parallel with the Treaty of Peace just signed at Paris. The Congress was held at Vienna in 1815, at the Foreign Office, in the same apartment wherein was held the Conference of last year, 1855. The former Congress, whereat was signed the Treaty between Austria, Spain, France, Great Britain, Portugal. Prussia, Russia, and Sweden, was painted by Isabey; and is valuable for the admirable portraits it contains of the great diplomatic celebrities of the period who attended the Congress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
