Princess Anna of Saxony (Full German name: Prinzessin Anna Maria Maximiliane Stephania Karoline Johanna Luisa Xaveria Nepomucena Aloysia Benedicta von Sachsen, Herzogin zu Sachsen) was a princess of Saxony by virtue of birth and Archduchess of Austria and Princess of Tuscany by virtue of marriage.
Anna was the daughter of John of Saxony and Amalie Auguste of Bavaria. She was born 4 January 1836 in Dresden, Kingdom of Saxony, and died 10 February 1859 in Naples.
Anna Maria was her parents' seventh child and fourth eldest daughter, and a younger sister of Albert of Saxony and George of Saxony. Through her marriage to Archduke Ferdinand, Grand Prince of Tuscany in 1856, Anna Maria became a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and an Archduchess and Princess of Austria as well as a Princess of Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, and Tuscany.
She died shortly before her husband succeeded his father as Grand Duke of Tuscany.
Anna married the future Ferdinand IV, Grand Duke of Tuscany, eldest son of Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany by his first wife, Princess Maria Antonia of the Two Sicilies, on 24 November 1856 in Dresden. She was his first wife.
Anna and Ferdinand had two children:
In early 1859, while visiting Naples, Princess Anna Maria contracted typhoid fever. The illness led to a miscarriage on 6 February 1859, and she died four days later on 10 February at the age of 23.
Due to the timing of her death, she never became the Grand Duchess consort, as her husband Ferdinand succeeded his father as Ferdinand IV just months later in July 1859.
