Hans Makart (1840–1884, Austria)
Makart was an Austrianacademichistory painter, designer, and decorator. He is most well known for his influence on Gustav Klimt and other artists of the Vienna Secession, but in his own era considered an important artist himself and a celebrity figure in the high culture of Vienna, attended with almost cult-like adulation. The appeal of this ‘Makartstil’ is in its aestheticism, a movement that was also experiencing popularity in EnglandandFrance. Nowadays he is widely considered one of Austria’s finest artists, and has historically been compared to Rubens within his home country.

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.
