Austrian painting: 100 famous paintings from Klimt to Schiele

From Klimt's gold to Schiele's nervous lines, a century of Austrian painting where Vienna shines, doubts, dances and sometimes looks at the viewer with disarming frankness.

Austrian painting is not just about Kissing, although Klimt has set the bar quite high and covered part of the problem with gold leaf. The most famous works lead the way, then the route goes back in time and widens the gaze without discreetly slipping a poster or sculpture into the middle of the paintings.

From Baroque Vienna to the Secession

One hundred paintings to follow Austria when it changes light

The story begins well before 1900. Wolf Huber, Johann Georg Platzer, Paul Troger and Franz Anton Maulbertsch show an Austria where the religious panel, the mythological scene and the baroque fresco already organize the light like a spectacle. At Maulbertsch, the figures swirl with such energy that the ceiling seems to have forgotten its main mission: to remain quiet.

Klimt covers the golden silence, Schiele takes off his coat. Between the two, Austrian painting finds more than enough to hold a hundred paintings without asking for a coffee break.

The kiss

Date1907CollectionOsterreichische Galerie BelvedereFormat180 x 180 cm

The initial silence of "The Kiss" lets the gaze choose its path before the composition reveals its true points of support. In front of "The Kiss", the gaze hesitates usefully between the precious detail and the whole. In "The Kiss", Klimt transforms this hesitation into movement, as if the canvas changed distance without moving. To look at "The Kiss", you must follow the relationship between the subject, the color values and the general construction of the surface; this is where the work gains its depth and avoids being reduced to a famous silhouette.

Portrait of Wally Neuzil

The oblique tension of "Portrait of Wally Neuzil" appears from the first relationships of shapes, then gains in precision when the details begin to respond to each other. Through "Portrait of Wally Neuzil", Schiele makes the body or landscape an interior state. In "Portrait of Wally Neuzil", a hand, a branch or a row of houses becomes the point where color stops describing and begins to worry. The character of "Portrait of Wally Neuzil" comes from the play between pose, gaze and the distance between the model and the viewer.

The Embrace

The patient construction of "The Embrace" gives each area a precise function, even when the key or gesture seems to have chosen spontaneity. In "The Embrace", Schiele lets the line carry most of the tension. In "The Embrace", a broken outline, a hand that is too sharp or a space left bare is enough to make a presence felt that does not seek to pose gently.

Danae

The mobile balance of "Danaé" rests on opposing forces which support each other without ever becoming a perfectly well-bred symmetry. "Danaé" shows that the brilliance in Klimt is never a simple jewel placed on the canvas; it distributes the gazes, compresses the space and gives the subject an almost ceremonial presence. The visual story of "Danaé" is mainly due to the tension of the story, the symbolic signs and the way in which the bodies occupy the stage.

The frontal presence of "Édouard Kosmack" is as much about the subject as it is about the way in which the painted masses occupy and cut out the available space. In the tight space of "Édouard Kosmack", Schiele gives a lot of authority to the silences.

The inner rhythm of "The Woman with the Fan" is discovered in stages, between a very readable first effect and more discreet tensions which prolong the gaze. By observing "The Woman with the Fan", we understand that Klimt does not separate portrait, landscape and decorative composition. In "The Woman with the Fan", the three work together, with the ornament in the role of the very brilliant but truly competent colleague.

Dead mother I

The patient construction of "Dead Mother I" gives each area a precise function, even when the touch or gesture seems to have chosen spontaneity. In front of "Dead Mother I", the color seems rare but decisive. In "Dead Mother I", Schiele uses it as a nervous accent that reveals the skin, a fabric, a facade or a specific psychological moment.

In "Pallas Athena", Klimt superimposes presence, decor and symbol so that the image can be intimate and monumental in the same movement.

The calm depth of "The Beethovenfries/Beethoven Frieze" arises from a sequence of shots whose logic becomes clearer as the eye slows down.

What the ranking reveals

One hundred paintings, three changes in visual regime

The journey goes from baroque storytelling to 19th century observation, then to decorative surface and expressionist body. Austria does not replace one style with another: it makes them discuss, sometimes quite vividly.

01

Decorating can bring drama

In Klimt, the motif does not soften the subject: it envelops it, structures it and gives it an almost architectural authority.

02

The line becomes a voice

Schiele and Gerstl show that an outline, a touch or a void can tell the worry as clearly as a face.

03

The baroque remains behind the scenes

The ample gestures, the directed light and the taste for spectacle survive even in the ruptures of Viennese modernity.

An Austrian story in five dates

Five benchmarks to cross the ranking

around 1510Painting the Danube

Wolf Huber inscribes figures and landscapes in an expressive nature which gives the Danube school its character.

1750Raise the ceiling

Troger and Maulbertsch gave late Austrian Baroque its bold shortcuts, rapid colors and very shy skies.

1840Look at life closely

Waldmüller imposes luminous observation of the portraits, countryside and society of Biedermeier.

1897Found the Secession

Klimt and his companions left conservative institutions to open Vienna to modern research and applied arts.

1918Closing an era too soon

Klimt and Schiele died the same year; their works, however, continue to define a major part of Austrian modernity.

Austrian painting in depth

From baroque Vienna to modernity that no longer holds in place

The story begins well before 1900. Wolf Huber, Johann Georg Platzer, Paul Troger and Franz Anton Maulbertsch show an Austria where the religious panel, the mythological scene and the baroque fresco already organize the light like a spectacle. At Maulbertsch, the figures swirl with such energy that the ceiling seems to have forgotten its main mission: to remain quiet.

In the 19th century, Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller brought a clearer observation of faces, countryside and daily life. Carl Schuch densifies still life, while Ludwig Deutsch pushes orientalist precision to the smallest chiseled metal. This diversity reminds us that Austrian painting is not suddenly born in a Viennese living room with a cup of coffee and a manifesto under his arm.

With Klimt, the Viennese Secession transformed painting into a total surface. The portrait, the landscape, the allegory and the ornament advance together. The Kiss, Judith I, Danaé or Adèle Bloch-Bauer I are famous because they bring together human presence and decor without letting one serve as wallpaper for the other. Gold catches the eye; construction makes it stay.

Schiele removes much of this trappings and keeps the nerve. His bodies, self-portraits and towns seem exposed to too bright a light to allow worldly pose. Portrait of Wally, Death and the Maiden, The Embrace or Four Trees show that a thin line can carry a lot of weight, which should reassure well-trimmed pencils.

Richard Gerstl occupies a briefer but decisive place. His portraits of the Schönberg family and his half-naked self-portrait shift the resemblance towards a more urgent painting. Between Klimt and Schiele, he reminds us that Viennese modernity does not follow a single avenue: it willingly takes the side streets, especially when they are a little hectic.

The ranking first favors international notoriety, presence in major museums and the historical role of each painting. The following ranks complete the story with the portraits, landscapes, religious scenes and baroque works retained here. The titles, artists and images are duplicated, because two different frames do not magically transform the same painting into a new discovery.

Notices add dates, collections and dimensions when Wikipedia, Wikidata or museums allow them to be verified. These markers are not there to recite a sheet: they indicate the time, scale and real place of the work. A monumental painting and a small intimate portrait can share a digital wall, but they do not speak with the same voice.

For decoration, Klimt brings brilliance and structure, Schiele brings intensity, Waldmüller brings clarity, Maulbertsch brings movement and Gerstl brings a rougher presence. The best choice is therefore not necessarily the highest rank: it is the painting whose energy corresponds to the room, the format and the level of conversation that we agree to have with our wall.

Four reading keys

How to look at these hundred paintings

Following the ornament, the line, the light and the space allows you to move from a baroque altarpiece to an expressionist portrait without losing the thread or your coffee.

Ornament

See what structures

In Klimt, motives do not fill voids: they distribute bodies, statuses and tensions on the surface.

Line

Measure nervousness

A broken outline at Schiele or an open touch at Gerstl indicates the condition of the subject as much as its silhouette.

Light

Identify who is leading the scene

Maulbertsch concentrates the action, Waldmüller clarifies reality and Klimt sometimes transforms brilliance into matter.

Space

Compare theater and silence

Baroque fills the frame; the towns of Schiele and the landscapes of Klimt, on the contrary, know how to make the void work.

Frequently asked questions

Austrian painting without getting stuck in front of The Kiss

The essential answers to understanding Klimt, Schiele, the Viennese Secession and the older roots of the ranking.

What is the most famous Austrian painting?

Gustav Klimt's Kiss is generally the most famous image in Austrian painting. Preserved at the Belvedere in Vienna, it has become a global icon of the Viennese Secession.

Why do Klimt and Schiele dominate this ranking?

Their international notoriety, the importance of their innovations and the number of paintings available explain their strong presence. The ranking also reserves a place for the Baroque and Biedermeier periods as well as Gerstl, Maulbertsch and Waldmüller.

What is the Viennese Secession?

Founded in 1897, the Viennese Secession brings together artists who wish to move away from institutional conservatism and open Austrian arts to modern research, graphics, architecture and applied arts.

Where to see the major works of Klimt and Schiele?

The Belvedere notably preserves The Kiss and a major collection by Klimt. The Leopold Museum has the most important collection of Egon Schiele and a central ensemble devoted to Austrian modernity.

Does the classification only contain paintings?

Yes. The products selected are paintings, panels, frescoes or painted sketches. Identified posters, photographs, sculptures and drawings are excluded from this selection.

How are duplicates avoided?

The verification compares products, standardized titles, Wikidata identities and visual footprints of images. A documented variant may remain; an identical image or the same repeated painting leaves the classification.

Why do Baroque works appear after Klimt and Schiele?

The classification first favors world-famous and appreciated works, then broadens the chronological journey. This allows you to start with immediate landmarks before discovering the older roots of Austrian painting.

Which Austrian paint to choose for a modern interior?

A geometric landscape by Klimt or an urban view by Schiele fits easily into a contemporary interior. For a more classic presence, Waldmüller or Maulbertsch bring more narration and historical depth.

The Top ends, Vienna keeps the light

One hundred paintings, and Vienna still hasn't finished the conversation

These 100 paintings connect Baroque, Biedermeier, Secession and Austrian Expressionism without reducing the route to two famous names. Klimt and Schiele naturally occupy the first row of the balcony, but Gerstl, Waldmüller, Maulbertsch and their predecessors give the whole its depth. Viennese coffee can cool; the paintings retain their tension very well.
