Author: Johann Kräftner, Hans-Peter Wipplinger (eds.)The Biedermeier era gave way to a style of decorative arts and furniture that emerged in Germany & Austria during the early to mid 19th century. Characterised by simplicity and elegance, the Biedermeier style delineates a period in Europe that was shaped by political upheaval & social revolts. Rather than focusing exclusively on Vienna, this publication also looks at the splendid cities of the Habsburg crown lands, such as Budapest, Prague, Ljubljana, Venice and Milan, as well as their environs.ISBN 9783753308159.
