/internal/media/dispatcher/163017/fullRiderStudie1872[Tina Blau]Tina BlauOil on canvas Austrian landscape painter Tina Blau already achieved recognition as a woman artist during her lifetime. This is evidenced by numerous successful exhibitions; the acquisition of her works by public collections, the imperial family, and the aristocracy; and her teaching career. Blau also holds a special place in the Belvedere’s collection: She is one of the only two women represented in the museum’s first permanent collection display, established in 1903 as the Moderne Galerie. With the recent acquisition of Rider, the Belvedere now holds a total of sixteen works by the artist. The oil study from the summer of 1872 was likely painted near Kroatisch- Haslau, where the artist met up with a group of young painters including Emil Jakob Schindler, Franz Rumpler, Eugen Jettel, and Julius Victor Berger. There, they devoted themselves to plein air painting, as demonstrated by a painting by Rumpler in the Belvedere’s collection that depicts the same scene.Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/69242/rdf
