Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele embody the golden age of Viennese art around 1900. Your guide takes you to their key works and tells the stories behind them.
Klimt was the star of the Secession, Schiele the young rebel who admired him yet followed a path of his own. Together with your guide you will discover how both challenged and sometimes shocked the art world with gold, line and the human body.
Depending on your wishes, the focus can be the Beethoven Frieze in the Secession, The Kiss in the Upper Belvedere or the great Schiele collection at the Leopold Museum. Your guide explains the paintings in a way that guests without any background can enjoy.
You will learn how closely art, music, psychoanalysis and architecture were linked in Vienna at that time. The tour is private and priced per group.
