8 Extraordinary Paintings at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna

©Arseniy Krasnevsky/Adobe Stock The collection of paintings at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna the Picture Gallery can be traced as far back as 16th-century members of the House of Habsburg. The building that currently houses the Picture Gallery was opened in 1891, though the museum also has several other expansive collections. This list focuses on just eight paintings from the Kunsthistorisches Museum’s many masterpieces. Earlier versions of the descriptions of these paintings first appeared in 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die , edited by Stephen Farthing (2018). Writers’ names appear in parentheses. Jupiter and Io (c. 1530) Correggio was one of the leading artists of the Parma school of Italian Renaissance painting. Little is known about his training, but stylistically it would seem that he came under the influence of Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea Mantegna, especially in his grasp of perspective and foreshortening.
