Biedermeier. Eine Epoche im Aufbruch / Biedermeier. The Rise of an Era

The fascinating Biedermeier era, reflected in works from the lands of the Habsburg Monarchy-from Viennese masters like Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller to artists from Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Lombardy.

The Biedermeier era encompasses a time in which Europe was shaped by political and social upheaval. The economic boom gave rise to a bourgeoisie that confidently portrayed its role. In addition to the perspective on the small, the immediate, and the everyday, landscape painting gained great importance.
