Introduction
The Belvedere Palace is a famous attraction in Vienna, Austria. It consists of the Upper and Lower Belvedere buildings. The Lower Belvedere was built in 1714 as a summer palace for Prince Eugene, while the Upper Belvedere was completed in 1721 and hosted grand royal celebrations. Today, it serves as the Austrian National Gallery, showcasing artworks from the Middle Ages to the 21st century, with a focus on Austrian painters from the late 19th century and the period of Art Nouveau. The iconic Kiss by Gustav Klimt, a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement, is one of the highlights. Additionally, the Lower Belvedere houses a baroque-style Orangery with important collections, including works by masters of Romanticism and late Gothic altarpieces, such as Michel Pacher, Lulinand Fruhof, and Conrad Laib.
