Talk | Week 6 – Vienna: Art History Reframed at Triskel Arts Centre

Event Details

Dr. Matthew Whyte’s final lecture takes us to Vienna, a city defined by imperial grandeur and deep intellectual ferment. Under the Habsburgs, Vienna presents itself as ordered, ceremonial and architecturally magnificent, yet beneath this surface lies a culture increasingly preoccupied with psychology, identity and interior life. The Royal Collections at the Kunsthistorisches Museum display extraordinary treasures from the Middle Ages to the Old Masters, while works of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele reveal a shift from decorative splendour to emotional and psychological intensity.
