About the Event
More Than Character Heads
The Belvedere is presenting Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (1736–1783) as an artist at a cultural and political turning point in history. This is demonstrated by his portraits of personalities from his day: members of the court and the aristocracy, scholars, scientists, and writers. The exhibition will also take a fresh approach to his famous “Character Heads” and examine them as a phenomenon of their time. Furthermore, it will explore the many myths shrouding Messerschmidt and his art.
