A recent project involved landscapes by Johann Jakob Hartmann, and you can judge the results of their careful restoration efforts yourself in a 2020 In-Sight exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six Hartmann paintings feature in this small exhibition. Why only six? Well, the aim of the ongoing In-Sight series is quality, not quantity: providing visitors with a more in-depth look at the works on display and their context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartmann caressed the canvas with his brush in the late 17th and early 18th centuries in Bohemia. Now part of Czechia, Bohemia formed part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/culture\/habsburg-monarchy-introduction\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12850\">Habsburg lands<\/a> at the time (notwithstanding the occasional invasion by the Ottoman Empire).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although landscape painting had long existed, our Bohemian painter pioneered the genre in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartmann drew his inspiration from earlier Flemish masters, such as Jan Brueghel the Elder (son of the more famous Bruegel, whose most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/khm\/bruegel-collection\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"18166\">notable works<\/a> hang in Vienna&#8217;s Kunsthistorisches Museum) and Gillis van Coninxloo (who himself influenced Jan Brueghel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartmann touched on various themes and genres in his work, but is most recognised for his forest landscapes, which he filled with extraordinary detail and a diverse cast of people and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six pictures on display in the exhibition include the rare joy of a complete ensemble of paintings: Hartmann&#8217;s earth, fire, water and air landscapes. He handles each theme with a light touch that invites exploration as you view the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the other two paintings, <em>Landschaft mit Festgesellschaft<\/em> (my rough translation: landscape with people celebrating) might easily fit into the elements series stylistically. The other work bears the title <em>Marketenderlager am Waldrand<\/em> (my rough translation: food stall at the woodland edge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wander through Hartmann&#8217;s landscapes from February 9th, 2020 to August 29th, 2020. Any entrance ticket to Upper Belvedere also includes access to the temporary exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you view Hartmann&#8217;s efforts, you find yourself just a few yards from one of the world&#8217;s most famous paintings. Go upstairs to view Klimt&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/kiss\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1119\">The Kiss<\/a>. If Hartmann&#8217;s era is more your style, then be sure to pop into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/khm\/paintings\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1487\">picture gallery<\/a> of the Kunsthistorisches Museum mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the home of <em>The Kiss<\/em>, Upper Belvedere can get busy during peak season. So go early or book your timeslot in advance online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to the exhibition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply follow the instructions for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/gettingthere3\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3402\">reaching Upper Belvedere<\/a>. The In-Sight (German: In-Blick) exhibitions normally reside on the left side of the lower floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: Prinz Eugen-Stra\u00dfe 27, 1030 Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1ksawXWFMVD9bljA48Gi7_VvWSfI\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reunions tend not to happen after a few decades have passed.
