This exhibition at the Liechtenstein Garden Palace focuses on Prince Johann Adam Andreas I von Liechtenstein, a significant patron of the arts during the Baroque period. It explores his role in shaping Vienna around 1700 through his art collections, architectural projects, and his passion for Italian and Flemish art.
The exhibition 'HERCULES OF THE ARTS' delves into the life and influence of Prince Johann Adam Andreas I von Liechtenstein, a pivotal figure in the art world of Vienna around 1700. Reigning from 1684, his economic foresight enabled him to amass a vast fortune and build an impressive art collection, acquiring masterpieces by Rubens and Van Dyck, and commissioning works from artists such as Marcantonio Franceschini and Massimiliano Soldani-Benzi. The exhibition showcases these works, offering insight into the magnificence of aristocratic Baroque life and the Prince's significant contributions to art and architecture. Beyond his patronage, Johann Adam Andreas I laid the groundwork for the future Principality of Liechtenstein through strategic land purchases. His architectural interests are evidenced by numerous construction projects, including his influential palaces in Vienna, documented by engravings. The Garden Palace, in particular, reflects his affinity for Italian architectural styles, drawing inspiration from Roman models and featuring the spectacular ceiling fresco in the Hercules Hall by Andrea Pozzo. The exhibition highlights the close connection between Vienna and Italy during this era, displaying 170 works that illuminate the Prince's personality, his achievements, his collecting focus on Italian and Flemish art, and the vibrant cultural milieu of the time.
