Vienna: Tribute to Waldmüller

From 17 Jul 2015 to 26 Oct 2015

17 July-26 Oct. Exhibition marking the 150th anniversary of the death of Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (1793-1865), one of Austria's most important 19th-century Austrian artists.

Waldmüller is best known for his portraits, landscapes, still lifes and genre paintings from the Biedermeier era, a period in central Europe between 1815 and 1848, defined by art works representing a sentimental and pious view of life.

This exhibition suggests that Waldmüller's legacy goes far beyond the Biedermeier period however, arguing that the Viennese artist's later works are more influential and realistic in style.

The Belvedere owns the largest collection of Waldmüller paintings in the world.
