A double portrait of His Serene Highness (S.S.) Prince Nikolaus von und zu Liechtenstein and his spouse Her Royal Highness (I.K.H.) Princess Margaretha von und zu Liechtenstein painted for the occasion of the visit of the royal couple to assist Knights Days in Ptuj. A painting offered at the occasion of the Gala reception and Gala dinner in the refectory of the Minorite Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul, (Minoritski trg 1, 2250 Ptuj) on Saturday, 24.09.2022, organized in honor of Knights of St George of Carinthia, of the Grand Commander S.D. Prince Nikolaus von und zu Liechtenstein, Patron and Protector and his consort I.K.H. Princess Margaretha von und zu Liechtenstein and newly appointed Knights of the Order and to all the new members of the Order, Knights, and Familiars who have had the honor of knighthood and noble membership in the Order, which has been preserved and protected for centuries by the powerful and invincible Saint George. The creation process evolved from oil painting on solar panel, part of Noravisionsolar The Garden of Eden project, and was consequently developed using digital technologies, towards mixed technics on the canvas, including collage, coffee, glue, digital print, graphic paper, oil and acrylic painting, Chinese Ink, Glue, Varnish, lace, golden, silver imitation. The red color of the splendid gown of Princess Margaretha resonates with a red cross, a symbol of the Knights of Saint George from Carinthia. The Order of Knights of Saint George of Carinthia in Slovenia has undergone significant development in 2022. It is governed by a Collegial Regency in the name of the Grand Master and Prince, who are appointed from the ranks of the Grand Commanders. The current Grand Master and Prince are H.S. Prince Nikolaus von und zu Liechtenstein (Grand Commander, appointed 09/24/2022) and H.S. Prince Josef-Emanuel von und zu Liechtenstein (Knight Commander, appointed 09/24/2022). The Order does not require monarchical authority for its sovereignty and instead elects its own Grand Master and Prince, similar to the German and Maltese Knights Orders. It supports the legitimate monarch from the Habsburg line and advocates for the support of the spiritual heritage of the Holy See, remaining faithful to the current successor on the Throne of Peter.
