Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller is one of the most important representatives of the Austrian Biedermeier but leads beyond this artistic period in his realism and the complexity of his paintings. In his early years he mainly worked as a portrait painter but widend his repertoire soon and gained a leadership in all important genres. He painted portraits of famous contemporaries as Beethoven (the portrait was destroyed in World War II) and Emperor Franz I., landscapes, genre paintings and still lifes. Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller was famous during his lifetime and the enthusiasm for his paintings is still wholehearted. A statue near the townhall in Vienna, the naming of the Waldmüller park and a series of Waldmüller-stamps give an impression of the popularity of his works, which have been shown in several museum exhibitions. The Belvedere in Vienna owns the biggest collection worldwide of paintings by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and the Waldmüller archive.
