Exhibition at the Upper Belvedere in Vienna
Belvedere - Klimt Exhibition
For anyone interested in Austrian art, there is no getting around the Upper Belvedere. The most important and largest collection of Austrian artists, beginning with the Middle Ages, can be found there. The works of the Vienna Secession around Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele are the highlight of the exhibition at the Belvedere. The world-famous "Kiss" or "Judith" holding the head of Holofernes, form the core of a body of work that was always extremely controversial during Klimt's lifetime and only found the fame it deserved a long time later. Guided tours of the exhibitions and collections, during which art-historical references are made and questions answered, are available at both the Upper Belvedere and the Lower Belvedere.
Gustav Klimt at the Belvedere
Gustav Klimt is undoubtedly one of the great names of artists in Austria. From the simple son of a gold engraver, he worked his way up to become the most famous representative of Viennese Art Nouveau and one of Vienna's most sought-after artists. A large part of his work is exhibited in the Upper Belvedere Palace and should not be missed during a visit to Vienna. The highlight of any visit to the Upper Belvedere is definitely "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt.
