In 2012, the American artist Lisa Oppenheim was invited to realize a project engaging with the Belvedere’s collection. For her “Belvedere Heliograms,” she isolated the depictions of the sun (“helios,” in Greek) in four historic works: Martino Altomonte’s “Apollo on the Solar Chariot” (1716), Anton Romako’s “Italian Fisherman’s Child” (ca. 1873), Egon Schiele’s “Four Trees” (1917), and Oskar Kokoschka’s “The Port in Prague” (1936). The technique Oppenheim used to make the series likewise gestures toward the power of the sun—she exposed the twenty-six photograms under daylight at different times of day, allowing the varying intensity of the sun’s rays to influence the final look of the resulting pictures.
