小节日大厅的两侧各有一个中国厅。右边是圆形中国厅，左边是椭圆形中国厅。 十八世纪的欧洲各国宫廷热衷于中国和日本的艺术，玛丽亚•特蕾莎不惜重金从远东进口亚洲艺术品，用于宫廷装潢，这两个厅可以说是这一时代风格最典型的代表作。描金的白色护壁镶板中镶嵌大小不同的中国漆画板，镀金边框的支柱上托放着中国的青花瓷瓶。此外，这两个厅的拼花地板也是杰出的艺术品，材料都选用了名贵木料，如紫檀、桃木等。 这两个小厅曾是女皇举行秘密会议和打牌娱乐的地方。就是在小圆厅，她同她的国务外交大臣考尼茨常常举行秘密商谈。 www.schoenbrunn.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.

Rooms known as the Chinese Cabinets flank the Small Gallery: on the left is the Oval Chinese Cabinet and on the right, the Round Chinese Cabinet. Maria Theresa was extremely fond of the contemporary fashion for Chinese and Japanese art. In both cabinets precious Chinese lacquer panels are set into the white wooden wainscoting. Their gilt frames develop into little consoles or brackets supporting examples of blue and white porcelain. The parquet flooring of both rooms with its ornate inlay work is also remarkable. The two cabinets served as rooms for playing cards and as conference rooms. Maria Theresa used the Round Chinese Cabinet for secret state conferences and meetings with her state chancellor, Prince Kaunitz. www.schoenbrunn.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.

玛丽亚•特蕾莎的丈夫在1765年突然去世，为了安慰哀思，追忆心爱的丈夫，她特命将这个厅改装。从北京进口的漆画板被镶嵌在桃木墙面中间并装饰以镀金的花边。丈夫死后，玛丽亚•特蕾莎就再也没有脱下寡妇装。在她去世以后，人们在她的祈祷书里面找到这样一张纸条，上面记录了她同丈夫在一起度过的每一个幸福的时刻。 这个大厅的其他两幅油画也是玛丽亚•特蕾莎的命画作品，中间是他的丈夫弗朗茨•斯蒂芬，去世四年后由意大利画家庞佩奥•巴托利画于1769年；同年在罗马，这位画家还画了约瑟夫二世和他的弟弟利奥波德的画像。画面上面对观众的是约瑟夫，那时他已经登基做了皇帝。画中桌上的书是孟德斯鸠的《法律的精神》，启蒙运动时期最重要的文献之一，是年轻皇帝热衷并熟读 的一本书。 www.schoenbrunn.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.

The Vieux-Laque Room was remodelled by Maria Theresa as a memorial room to her beloved husband, Franz Stephan, who died unexpectedly in 1765. Black lacquer panels from Peking were set into the walnut wainscoting and embellished with gold frames. After Franz Stephan‘s death, Maria Theresa wore mourning for the rest of her life. A note was found in the empress’s prayer book after her death on which she had noted the length of her happy marriage, right down to the precise number of hours. Maria Theresa also commissioned three paintings for this room: in the middle is a portrait of Franz Stephan by Pompeo Batoni, who also painted the double portrait of Joseph II and his brother Leopold which was done in Rome in 1769. On the table in front of Joseph, who is standing on the right, lies a copy of Montesquieu’s Esprit des lois, one of the key works of the Enlightenment. The ideas of the Enlightenment underlay all the young emperor’s endeavours and reforms. www.schoenbrunn.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.
