    belvedere belvedere GALLERY GUIDE ENGLISH Schwarzenberg, Radierung, 1731 BELVEDERE Baroque Palace and Art Collection he Belvedere is an extensive Baroque palace com- plex comprising the Upper Belvedere, Lower Bel- Tvedere, Orangerie and Grand Stables buildings which are couched in magnificent Baroque gardens. The estate extends over gently sloping grounds and is adorned with cascades of staircase fountains, Baroque sculptures and splendid wrought iron gates. Since 1903, the palace estate has housed one of Austria’s largest art museums. The collection focuses on works from Austria extending from the Middle Ages to contemporary pieces. The Belvedere is renowned as guardian of the world’s largest collection of paintings by Gustav Klimt; it also houses one of the largest collections of Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka pain- tings. The Baroque estate of the Belvedere was originally concei- ved as a summer residence. At the time it was built, it was Salomon Kleiner, Prospect of Prince Eugene’s gardens, neighbouring gardens of the St. Francis de Sales Monastery and Prince part of a general building boom in Vienna, the Imperial Schwarzenberg, etching, 1731 Emperor’s residence, which was to bestow upon the city some of its most beautiful buildings. This prosperous era was made possible by the successful conclusion of the wars against the Ottoman Empire. After their unsuccessful siege of Vienna for several months in 1683, the Turks were pushed further and further eastwards before being ultimately crushed at the battle of Zenta in 1697. The commander of this important victory was Prince Eugene of Savoy, who commissioned the building of the Belvedere palaces.
