Olga Wisinger-Florian (1844-1926) was an Austrian Impressionist painter whose main interest was the depiction of landscapes and flowers. Before becoming a painter, she worked as a concert pianist for several years, but had to interrupt her career due to health problems.
In 1880, she became a pupil of Emil Jacob Schindler. The following year, her first solo exhibition was held at the Vienna House of Artists. Later, her work was exhibited as part of the Vienna Secession and became known internationally. As Schindler’s influence on her art faded, she leaned more towards realism and the use of bright and intense colors.
In Blooming Poppy , the painter appears to be sitting in the middle of a poppy field. The horizon is high, and the vast plains look almost endless. It’s a fresh perspective that pushes the actual landscape into the background and instantly moves those little details from the foreground to the center of attention. The result is almost like a mix of landscape and still life in one work of art.
Thanks to Europeana, the European digital library, we are able to present today’s work. 🙂
