Sweet Decadence
Hans Makart (Johann Ferdinand Apollonius Makart,1840-1884), Austrian painter and decorator.
Particularly known for his influence on Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), he will embody an important figure of the Viennese art scene of his time. His dazzling career was stopped by his premature death. His style, sophisticated and nervous, bathed of brown and reddish hues, reflects his era, full of luxury and frivolities.
