When Hans Makart moved from Munich to Vienna to take up a highly official appointment in 1869, he was by no means an unknown quantity.

This related to their chromaticity as much as to their content, which bore no relation to contemporary decorative paintings of accepted historical textbook character.

Hans Makart created vast areas of painted décor for salons, dining rooms etc. in Viennese palaces, and quickly became the most sought-after portrait artist in the imperial metropolis. His portraits of Viennese society ladies and actresses embody the splendour and theatre-loving age of which Makart became the undisputed representative.
