Synopsis

Vienna presents a comprehensive, richly illustrated insight into the art treasures of the Danube metropolis. The main focus is on the Baroque era with its magnificent church buildings and palaces including the Hofburg, Schönbrunn, and Belvedere; historicism with its architectural highlights on the new Ringstrasse; and Viennese art nouveau including artists Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, the Wiener Werkstätte und Sezession. Well-founded essays on the beginnings of the history of art in Vienna and on the state of contemporary Viennese art round off the book.
