The most famous of his pieces in this museum is The Kiss (1908) not surprisingly, I was sneaky enough to snap a picture. Klimt was also extremely influential with his liberal portraits of ladies and risqué style. He was also a founder of the Vienna Secession and its first president with this he strived to renew the arts. Klimt is known for his huge contribution to avant-garde’s breakthrough in Vienna. The museum houses the largest collection of Klimt oil painting and all together 24 of his works these include portraits, landscapes and allegorical scenes. This section of the Belvedere was completely impressive (pun intended).Īlthough the museum houses beautiful pieces from some of the most famous artists, the most notable pieces are the works completed (and uncompleted) by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt. The techniques used are absolutely exquisite and each detail is finished off perfectly, I even enjoy how the piece fades toward the bottom almost to be unfinished. One of my favorite pieces from this collection was Cook by Monet (1882). ![]() The pieces of Impressionism in the Belvedere are works from such artists as Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, and Claude Monet. ![]() Impressionism for many artists aimed to capture the impression of the moment this moment should be represented in a contemporary style and express modern views of life in society. For me, the most interesting work was from the Impressionism and Art Nouveau collections. The Collections in the museum include work from the Middle Ages, Baroque, Classism/Romanticism, Biedermeier, Ferdinand George Müller forest, Historicism, Impressionism, Art Nouveau/Secession, Expressionism, Interwar period, art after 1945, and finally some contemporary Art. The masterpieces within the Belvedere covered a variety of topics. The Belvedere in Wein was a stunning museum that sat on a stunning plot and in a stunning building.Not only were there amazing gardens, but a spectacular view of the entire city. He used himself to test out different techniques and develop his skills he also thought self portraits to be very important, as he felt, they would always be in demand. Since he was limited on subjects and rarely commissioned to produce portraits, Van Gogh painted himself. These were his best options since he could not afford to pay models. As an artist he struggled to make a living and often painted peasants of flowers. Through his career Van Gogh painted many self portraits. Luckily I was able to capture a nice shot of one of his self portraits. As soon as I snapped a photo with my camera, a man approached me and sternly told me that I was not to take any more photos. No pictures were allowed in the museum, but I did not know this until I took a picture. From gaining insight into his life, I was able to have an understanding and visually see how his work reflected on his life. I liked the set up of the museum because each section explained what was going on in the life of Van Gogh and then showed the paintings from this period. Van Gogh has a unique style that is ingenious. It is so often that you hear about amazing artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, but it is rare to really experience and see an enter collection of beautiful work. The Vincent Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam was extraordinary. ![]()
