This private, special theme tour is suitable for those who would like to immerse in the atmosphere of Vienna 1900, when it was the cultural capital of Europe, like Florence was around 1500. In the year 1900 the City of Music was the seventh largest city in the world. Nowadays the Austrian capital is not in the the list of the “100 largest cities in the world”.

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 this new artistic movement in Vienna. It was not until 1896 that the painter Gustav Klimt and a number of 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 Otto Wagner or Josef Hoffman. You can read about the list of places where you can find paintings of Klimt in Vienna HERE.

Art Nouveau has left its architectural impact all over the world, including Vienna. Austrian artists, however, developed a unique manifestation of the style known as Vienna Secession. Vienna played a pivotal role in the Art Nouveau movement, serving as a fertile ground for artistic innovation and experimentation. The city’s rich cultural heritage, coupled with the progressive spirit of the time, fostered a unique blend of architectural, decorative, and graphic arts. The Secessionist movement, a group of artists and architects who rejected traditional artistic norms, emerged in Vienna and significantly influenced the development of Art Nouveau. Key figures like Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann, and Gustav Klimt revolutionized the field of design, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to inspire and captivate.
