    Belvedere Palace and gardens

    Posted by richardrj 20 March 2006

    Sumptuous palace housing an unrivalled collection of 20th century art, including key works by the great Viennese triumvirate of Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka. The gardens are lovely too.

    Some of the Klimts (although not The Kiss) have gone now after a court ruled that they should be returned to the artist's family in Los Angeles.

    The Klimt paintings returned from Austria to the USA were deemed after arbitration to belong to the descendants of Adele Bloch-Bauer, one of the artist's most celebrated sitters, and not to members of Klimt's own family. The portrait of Adele B-B is now in the Neue Gallery in New York, having been sold to that collection.
