Nowadays Loos is most appreciated for his panoramic views, including the famous “Sattler Panorama” of Salzburg, to which he contributed in the 1820s. After this period in Salzburg, where he painted some of his most well-known works, Loos moved to Vienna and finally to Rome in 1846. It Italy he continued to paint panoramas. He captured the city from Monte Celio and Monte Mario in two sequences of five paintings, creating great panoramic views of classical and of contemporary Rome. In his cityscapes and landscapes depicting the Alps or rolling countryside, Friedrich Loos always made every effort to record exact topographies, which is why these panoramas are of great cartographic interest to this day. The exhibition Masterpieces in Focus: Friedrich Loos will feature examples from every phase in the painter’s oeuvre, inviting visitors to rediscover his work and see it in a new light.? *Exhibitions in the series Masterpieces in Focus are made possible through the generous support of the Dorotheum.* ### [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 - ![Oil on cardboard 30 x 40.5 cm — Friedrich Loos, View from Mönchsberg Hill of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, around 1830 — © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225273.jpg.webp?itok=XvCihkF4) - ![Oil on paper on cardboard 39 x 43 cm — Friedrich Loos, Trees on the Kahlenberg with View of Vienna, around 1840 — © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225274.jpg.webp?itok=LLrUT9bZ) - ![Oil on canvas 74 x 118 cm — Friedrich Loos, Panoramic view of the antique Rome, 1850 — © Staatliche Museen zu Berlin - Nationalgalerie, Photo: © Andreas Kilger](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225275.jpg.webp?itok=ThoAAm4f) - ![Oil on canvas 39 x 52,5 cm — Friedrich Loos, Inner Stone and Capuchin Convent in Salisbury, 1846 — © Salzburg Museum, Photo: © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225256.jpg.webp?itok=N4S8lboi) - ![Oil on canvas 73 x 118 cm — Friedrich Loos, Ruin of the Dome of Hamar in Norway, 1857 — Private collection, Photo: © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225249.jpg.webp?itok=9s4mOJIq) - ![Friedrich Loos – Ein Künstlerleben zwischen Wien, Rom und dem Norden — Exhibition view "Masterpieces in Focus: Friedrich Loos" — Photo: Eva Würdinger, © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225276.jpg.webp?itok=ywQGTLn1) - ![Friedrich Loos – Ein Künstlerleben zwischen Wien, Rom und dem Norden — Exhibition view "Masterpieces in Focus: Friedrich Loos" — Photo: Eva Würdinger, © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225260.jpg.webp?itok=F32_yHHV) - ![Friedrich Loos – Ein Künstlerleben zwischen Wien, Rom und dem Norden — Exhibition view "Masterpieces in Focus: Friedrich Loos" — Photo: Eva Würdinger, © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225247.jpg.webp?itok=EZjW0GkA) - ![Friedrich Loos – Ein Künstlerleben zwischen Wien, Rom und dem Norden — Exhibition view "Masterpieces in Focus: Friedrich Loos" — Photo: Eva Würdinger, © Belvedere, Vienna](https://www.belvedere.at/sites/default/files/styles/equal_height_slider_1x/public/jart-images/_439886225248.jpg.webp?itok=1pxX0xhe)
