Vienna 1900](https://www.belvedere.at/en/node/6227) At the turn of the century, Vienna was a place of contrasts: capital of the Habsburg Empire, melting pot of numerous cultures, center for intellectuals and artists. At the same time, it was also a city of slums and political tensions. The art scene was changing radically, too. A new union of artists—the Secession—was founded in 1897 by Gustav Klimt and others. It marked the birth of Viennese Modernism.
