The development of art in Austria is closely linked to history. The reign of the Habsburgs marks the beginning of a golden age of art and culture. The rulers of the house were lovers of culture and often passionate collectors of European art. Until this turning point in history, artistic exchange was limited to the neighbouring countries of Germany and Switzerland. Painting and sculpture therefore developed largely independently. Rather unusual for the European art area is a large stock of book and wall painting. Until the Middle Ages, these were the predominant art forms, which was primarily influenced by the Bohemian art development.
The Habsburgs maintained a close cultural exchange in the European area. Connections with Spain, Italy and the Danubian countries influenced the identity of the artists. There was a fusion of various influences, from which new styles and art movements developed. An example of this development is the Austrian Baroque. Under Leopold I there was a fusion of the Italian High Baroque with French Classicism. The Habsburg emperors used the resulting opulent splendour for representational purposes. Leopold I, who had not been endowed with the presentable genes of the family, liked to have his portrait painted in lavish splendour, thus demonstrating the splendour of his reign. Leopold I thus laid the foundation for a tradition long followed by subsequent emperors and their families.
Painting was not only subject to various epochal changes during Habsburg rule. From then on, paintings had more than just a decorative value. Paintings were used to create an impression of the imperial family among the population. Maria Theresa in particular was a master at conveying the positive character traits of her family. Maria Theresa presented herself to the public as a down-to-earth and caring mother who liked to be portrayed in the company of her happy family. She commissioned monumental works. Heroic-looking coronation ceremonies and battle scenes with large staffage. Paintings that seem like snapshots and yet could only be realized with great planning effort. In addition to the imperial house, the portraits of Austria's great artists belong to the Austrian School. Franz Schubert with his wonderful instrument is one of the country's great composers, along with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Viennese Academy is associated with a painting that has strong links to national heroism. A painting that has received great international attention. The Academy also stands for a strong connection between theory and practice. Painters should also be scholars and teach art. A principle that extends from Art Nouveau to modern art.
