Description

At the mention of Vienna, many visitors bring to mind Sachertorte, romantic open carriage trips and an evening in one among local wine taverns. However the old imperial city has a lot more to supply – Vienna presents a comprehensive, richly illustrated view of the art treasures to be found within the Danube metropolis. The principle focal point is at the baroque era with its magnificent church buildings and palaces including the Hofburg, Schönbrunn and Belvedere; historicism with its architectural highlights at the new Ringstrasse; and Viennese art nouveau including artists Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, the Wiener Werkstätte und Sezession. Well-founded essays at the beginnings of the history of art in Vienna and at the state of up to date Viennese art round off the book.
