Years: 1898 - 1898
A distinctly Viennese school in painting begins to develop in the movement known as the Vienna Secession—referring to its breakaway in 1897 from the academic painters of the Künstlerhaus—which is part of the Jugendstil, as Art Nouveau is known in the German regions.

Led by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, thirty-six, the members are influenced by William Morris, Walter Crane, and Charles Voysey and also adopt the British aesthetic for their handcrafted products.
