How would you describe Vienna – the capital of culture? The birthplace of the waltz? The birthplace of psychoanalysis? All of these, and more, are true characteristics of the Austrian capital.
The Genius Loci (spirit of place) is packed with details and you won’t find them in quite as many places as in Belvedere. Do you want to discover what works of art from the different eras can tell you about the specific Austrian and Viennese identity? Then take a tour of the Belvedere and gain an insight into the different facets of the national character.
In Gustav Klimt’s golden “Judith” and “The Kiss” we can explore why female sexuality is the focus of medical interest in Vienna. The troubling mood of Egon Schiele’s “Embrace” and “The Girl and Death” can also help us understand why this city became the birthplace of psychoanalysis.
The ornate baroque decoration of the palace, the accent on the ancient heroic themes will explain the special imperial atmosphere of the city, in which the Viennese live and in which tourists so eagerly dive. And Ferdinand Waldmüller’s pellucid paintings will try to enchant us by showing the famous “Viennese cosiness” and we have to make an effort to see what tragedies lie behind these well-marketed images.
The gilding of medieval altars and Klimt’s golden masterpieces, the sparks of intellectual life and Viennese humor that glimmer through the sombre paintings of Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka – what really makes this famous palace’s collection shine? And what exactly shows us the true face of the (former imperial) capital? The answers to these questions await you in the galleries of Belvedere Palace.
