Schindler, who was born in 1842 and died in 1892, celebrates a dual anniversary in 2012. With his new vision of nature, he developed an alternative to the opulent art practiced during the era of the Vienna Ringstraße. Pursuing neither a purely documentary realism nor an exaggerated lyrical transfiguration, Schindler strove for the reconciliation of nature with manmade objects. ### [Upper Belvedere](https://www.belvedere.at/en/visit/upper-belvedere) **Opening hours:** Monday to Sunday, 9 am - 6 pm **Address:** Upper Belvedere, 1030 Vienna ([Getting there]()) [Tickets](https://www.belvedere.at/en/tickets?location%5B0%5D=1) ##### In cooperation with - [Logo Dorotheum](http://www.dorotheum.at) ## Impressions - ![Emil Jakob Schindler - Poetischer Realismus](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225856.jpg.webp?itok=4GCldmZ3) - ![Emil Jakob Schindler - Poetischer Realismus](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225852.jpg.webp?itok=_f6N6Ypu) - ![Emil Jakob Schindler - Poetischer Realismus — Exhibition view, Masterpieces in Focus: Franz Barwig the Elder — Photo: Eva Würdinger / © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886224735.jpg.webp?itok=ATTfbNyE)
