Belvedere announces Emil Jakob Schindler exhibition

Belvedere presents an exhibition of work by Emil Jakob Schindler on view from Sep 27, 2012 until Jan 6, 2013.


Emil Jakob Schindler, Dampfschiffstation, 1871/1872 Belvedere

With this special presentation, the Belvedere introduces one of the most important exponents of atmospheric Impressionism and explores the artist’s international relationship primarily to French nineteenth-century art.

Schindler, who was born in 1842 and died in 1892, celebrates a dual anniversary in 2012. With his new vision of nature, he developed an alternative to the opulent art practiced during the era of the Vienna Ringstraße. Pursuing neither a purely documentary realism nor an exaggerated lyrical transfiguration, Schindler strove for the reconciliation of nature with manmade objects. – www.belvedere.at
