Amélie (1812 Mailand - 1873 Lissabon) war die dritte Tochter von Eugène und Auguste Amalie von Leuchtenberg. Sie wuchs nach der Flucht der Familie aus Italien mit ihren Geschwistern in München, Eichstätt und Ismaning auf. Die verwitwete Auguste Amalie zögerte, ihre Tochter dem brasilianischen Kaiser Dom Pedro I. (1798 Queluz, Portugal - 1834 ebenda) als Frau zu geben. Der Ruf des Kaisers war kein guter, die Todesumstände seiner ersten Gemahlin, der Erzherzogin Maria Leopoldine, waren Stoff für Spekulation. Zudem hatte er für mehrere unmündige, sowohl eheliche wie außereheliche Kinder zu sorgen. Die langen Verhandlungen für einen Ehevertrag wurden im Geheimen geführt. 1829 erfolgte dann die Vermählung, am 2. August per procurationem in der Kapelle des Leuchtenberg-Palais in München, am 17. Oktober wurde in Rio de Janeiro die kirchliche Hochzeit gefeiert. Die Braut gründete mit dem Betrag von 40.000 Gulden, den ihr zukünftiger Mann ihr für die Hochzeitsfeierlichkeiten in München zur Verfügung gestellt hatte, die brasilianische Aussteuerstiftung für Waisenmädchen. Die sog. Brasilianische Stiftung existiert bis heute und gewährt bedürftigen Mädchen Ausbildungshilfen.

The depiction corresponds to the portrait of the Empress created by Franz Seraph Hanfstaengl, which was published as a steel engraving in 1829 by Hyrtl and Stöber, Vienna.



The miniature was only partly deframed for the description.
