The Winter Palace is a new exhibition at the Belvedere in Vienna's city center

Once built for the landlord as magnificently equipped residential and representation Palace, in the 18th century by the Empress Maria Theresa acquired, anon for the Exchequer and then as the Ministry of Finance used, becomes the baroque jewel in the center of Vienna again a place for art and culture. With the opening of the new exhibition and fourth place of exhibition of the Belvedere the most important saloons of the Parade apartments of Prince Eugene of Savoy are from 18 October 2013 made public. Based on the historical heritage and the extensive work of the citizen of the world, through interdependencies between the Town and Garden Palace - the Winter Palace and Belvedere Palace - which are brought together again after more than 260 years, another important art site in the center of Vienna shall be established.

After the first exhibition, to the builder to the occasion of his 350th birthday dedicated, especially the dialogue between cultural heritage and contemporary art is sought - a dispute that is already implemented very successfully worldwide in major art institutions as well as in the Belvedere Castle. Thus, the State Rooms at the Vienna Himmelpfortgasse are going to be a place of artistic encounter between Baroque interior, the collections of the Belvedere as well as contemporary art. The planned presentations arise in direct relation to the place and wring from the artists often new, created in situ and only because of the uniqueness of ambiance and history essential oeuvres. In addition to the architecture of the City Palace, the former collections of the Prince as well as those of the Belvedere are central starting points.

In the opening exhibition at the Winter Palace, a Baroque monument of international importance, are on the occasion of the 350th Birthday of Prince Eugene of Savoy in particular his biography, the architectural history of the palace and the military merits of the former landlord in focus. Selected objects of various genres fit into the existing structure of the State Rooms and underline these. On one hand, the personal career and family background of Prince Eugen are illustrated, on the other hand, gives the part of the architectural history clues about the original appearance of the palace inside.

Just on the basis of the Winter Palace can due to the construction and equipment history the rise of Prince Eugene be understood in an impressive way. Originally he came as a penniless refugee in 1683 to the court of the Habsburgs, he died in 1736 as the owner of several castles. As a general and former diplomat, the ancient landlord got sustainable fame and fortune. Therefore, it is not surprising that he kept his military successes in the present city palace through a cycle of large-scale battle scenes from Ignace-Jacques Parrocel. Also under the displayed objects are the Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece from the possession of the Prince, the numerous portraits of family and contemporaries, as well as precious Japanese lacquer cabinets that presents the Belvedere on loan from Torino. The use of the structure of the State Rooms by the Belvedere makes after centuries a reunion of Prince Eugene's City and Garden Palace possible. With the autumn exhibition in his first in Vienna erected residence the Prince's life shall be palpable by the means of selected exhibits. Since the Winter Palace is not a classic sober space, the dialogue between State Rooms and exhibits creates a particular tension that conveys much of that time.
