Art Nouveau has left its architectural impact all over the world, including Vienna. Vienna had a higher density of conservative nobility than Budapest, the other co-capital of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and this fact delayed the entrance of the new artistic movement in Vienna.

It was not until 1896 that the painter Gustav Klimt and several other artists quit the conservative Künstlerhaus and founded a new art association called Secession, a name used by a popular building completed in 1898 and used by many of the members of this movement, artists like Klimt, Wagner or Hoffman.

This late arrival was the reason why Austrian artists developed a unique manifestation of the style known as Vienna Secession. The Vienna Secession was the name given to the group of artists, architects and designers that broke away from the main establishment of Viennese artists to form their own group.

Art Nouveau, also called Jugendstil or Secession, has a fixed place in Viennese architecture. In the center of the new style were geometric and naturalistic forms. The atmosphere of Vienna 1900 was very special, when it was the cultural capital of Europe and it was the seventh largest city in the world. Vienna was as important to the world in 1900 as Florence in 1500.
