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
