On 24 december 1837, elizabeth amaría eugenia von vitelsbach was born in the new palace in munich. She was the fourth child of the duke of bavaria, maximilian joseph, and mrs. Ludovica williamsina, born during christmas and on sunday, with a tooth, which was then considered a symbol of “lucky”. Her life seems to have been very lucky. She married her cousin in 1854. The emperor of the austro-hungarian empire, franz joseph i, became “queen elizabeth”; in china, she became well known to the public under the name “princess cece”。
Princess ceci was the most successful german film in history in 1955, leaving a good memory for the chinese audience. The beauty and beauty of queen elizabeth, played by romy schneider, and the love of the emperor, full of fairy tales. However, the true queen elizabeth has not been as happy in history as she was in the film, and her tragic fate has been breathtaking, and perhaps the only thing consistent with the film is the extraordinary appearance of queen elizabeth。

With regard to the extraordinary beauty of elizabeth, many praises have been left by the people of the same generation, as princess victoria of prussia wrote in a letter to her mother, queen victoria, in 1862: "the queen excites me. Her unsymmetrical beauty is unparalleled. I've never seen so radiant and so moving a face before. The line of her face is not as beautiful as it looks, but it's very charming in its entirety. It's absolutely impossible to reflect any painting. She seems to have overstretched herself
Queen elizabeth's beauty peaked in the 1960s, when she went to dresden to attend her brother carl teodorty's wedding in 1864, when she was described as a “glorous man”, and queen saxon hailed her as “pretty” when she wore a white kinolin dress with stars, and she was painted with diamond star blossoms on her head, painted on a canvas by the famous painter winterhart (1805-1873), which had been imitated by countless people for over a century. In 1864, the united states minister in vienna wrote in a letter to his mother: “the queen is a beautiful miracle — a smudge, a beautiful figure, a thin brown hair, a low greek forehead, soft eyes, a sweet smile on the red lips, a sweet little sound, but very elegant act.”
In 1865, a portrait of queen elizabeth was drawn by the then famous portraitist winterhart。
As a result, elizabeth became the “quiet queen” that was passed on through the mouth. Indeed, her beauty was not exclusively enhanced by genetic or by complementary means, such as makeup, but rather by the result of the madness of beauty and fitness, some of which could even be described as “ferocious”. So how does this crazy 19th-century beauty look like a beauty
Stars die without the mask: like many girls in the modern world, elizabeth is very fond of the face, using absolutely added natural materials (e. G., strawberries torn and honey to make the mask). Modern studies have shown that strawberries have the effect of cleaning and white skin. She wears a small beef mask every night, which is blood-blooded, and she believes that it can tighten skin and swell (modern research shows that it is rich in vitamins and glue proteins that can effectively prevent aging skin)。
Aromatic therapy: now a lot of girls are obsessed with oil and water, the rest of elizabeth played a hundred years ago. She loved roses and lavenders and sprayed them on her face. In addition, she was wearing cream with rose oil。
Sspa bump man: she likes to shower with hot water full of olive oil to keep her skin smooth and elastic, once overheated with olive oil, almost burned the queen to death. After the bath, a full body massage is required, every day. It has even covered itself with hay, which is said to be the case in some modern high-level spa societies。
Dairy products: she uses various dairy products to protect her skin, especially goat milk, and is particularly favoured by her。
Gymnasium: she spends hours every day on physical exercise - double bars, rings, dumb bells, weight lifting, sword-fighting; practice is very intense, and she is able to move around in a tight, late-day dress suit and free of all kinds of devices in later years. And in a very conservative social climate at the time, the austrian queen's swinging on those bars was a very disrespectful matter that shocked public opinion, and when gossip spreads in newspapers, the emperor, who defended his wife, led to the seizure of the media。
Elizabeth's gymnasium at the vienna palace, displaying various kinds of gymnasium devices for use by the queen, was a scandal at a time of moral conservatism。
Scrambling: in addition to being skilled in riding, often for long periods of time, the queen travels at high speed for hours each day, often with a good-walking officer following her in order to protect her safety. At some point, she had to follow her by a wagon, which was carrying women who were already paralyzed。
In 1863, queen elizabeth on a horse. In order to preserve her image of beauty, she stopped taking pictures after the 1970s。
Queen elizabeth is known for her fine and slender shape, and her waist is only 50 centimetres. But she had four children and, in order to keep her waist so thin, she put herself in her 19th century tights. Beyond her waist, and for visual effects, she simply did not wear a shirt, but was wearing thin leather pants that were tight to her skin, which often had to be sewn into her dress by the tailor instead of wearing it. As for the thinness of the waist, she also had the trick of putting wet apple vinegar over her waist and sleeping with it every day。
Hairdresser: elizabeth gives the amazing impression of beauty, in large part because she has a beautiful, beautiful, long chestnut hair with hair like a cape, bright and thick, growing to her leg. She loved her hair very much, and she lamented herself: "i am a slave to my hair." she washes her hair every three weeks, takes a whole day to wash her hair and tends her hair with expensive oils, including brandy and eggs. It takes three hours a day to comb her hair, and in order to make the queen happy, the barber hides glue under her skirt, glues down her fallen hair and makes her think she didn't lose any hair。
In 1864, another painting of queen elizabeth by winterhart. Her beautiful hair occupied the centre of daily care, and she also wrote poetry for her hair。
Eating control: queen elizabeth has self-abuse control of her diet. In order to keep her body weight at 50 kg, she not only rarely eats diets with high fat and high heat, but also does not eat food for the general population. Every day she drinks a five-six-egg-purified mix of salt; raw beef juice; and milk to keep her skin white。
A ritual-like beauty procedure: queen elizabeth also has another way in which other women look beyond their reach, namely, to raise the beauty procedure to a religious ritual, each time taking a bath, washing their hair and combing their hair in a pious and sacred manner. When combing her hair, the barber carries a silver plate to fill her falling hair, and lastly, the barber looks at her, repents for it, falls down on his knees and says softly, "i'm always bowing at your feet." so the whole combing process ends。
So for queen elizabeth's life, we can imagine that there's nothing to do but beauty, that there's no time to meet her husband, that even studying greek, reading, and so on, is done in the space of combing her hair or hanging her hair loose. Every day, her life revolves around the great event of beauty, which overshadows any beauty of our time。
Interestingly, because elizabeth's demands on “natural beauty” are too high, those women who are used to making a living are unable to follow the queen for such expensive beauty maintenance, and they even have a delicate rivalry with the queen, which emerged from this “natural son” — a rural girl from bavarian bossenhoven — into the vienna palace. They are used to luxuries such as shoe hats, jewellery, etc., to match women with beauty, and to mask them with fat powder if they have physical deficiencies. Queen elizabeth was never recognized as the first beauty in the court by the distinguished women of vienna, who presented the granddaughter of metnet, the austrian minister's wife in paris, mrs. Paulina von metnie, as their fashion leader。
Marquis paulina von metnet, 1854. The marquis and the introverted elizabeth, who was an active social activist, had a tremendous influence on the politics of the then-hungarian empire, admitted the roschild family into her “shuron”。
This marquis de metnet is the opposite of elizabeth: she's dark, ugly, short and fat, she's an opponent in tights, but she loves to dress herself up, and she likes to be friends. The well-known paulina is the fashion guide in vienna, where she decides on every season: all kinds of flowers, fabrics, shoe hats, etc. These two women, who are close to each other, are sarcasticly sarcastic because of their different conceptions of life: paulina is not as noble as elizabeth, who mocks at the beauty of her makeup and the face of the diamond-filled marquis as if she were a hot monkey。
Despite the resistance of the elite, the queen “as if a beautiful swan was floating in the water”, a classic tycoon that appeared on the heads of women of all walks of life, as evidenced by numerous photographs and paintings. In 1873, when king nasseldin (1831-1896) met queen elizabeth, he lamented in french: “ah quill est belle!” (ah, how beautiful
Her husband, franz-joseph, worshipped her beauty, which made her increasingly important in politics: to keep her husband away from her mother-in-law, grand duke sophie; and to allow her husband to prefer hungary, which she likes, and to alienate bohemia. Beauty has become her powerful weapon, but like a double-edged sword, it has placed enormous strain and burdens on her life。
Some joked about her marriage being unfortunate, because no man would like to sleep with a woman with a blooded beef on her face and a sour wet cloth. Emperor franz joseph fell in love with a flat actress, katerina strat (1853-1940). Perhaps reality is more cruel than fairy tales。
The queen mother of mercy has a golden word: “a woman who has no heart or heart to dress herself, what is she still alive.” and queen elizabeth, who was with the queen of mercy, put all her heart and heart on the beauty of fitness, overpowered and did not bring any happiness to life。
Will beauty really bring true happiness? This is a matter for reflection。
