LIECHTENSTEIN MUSEUM Wien

COUNT HARRACH COLLECTION

The art gallery of the Counts Harrach was founded in a period when culture was flourishing in the estates of Austria. The three members of the old family responsible for the largest and most beautiful part of the collection, Counts Ferdinand Bonaventura I, Alois Thomas Raimund and Ernst Guido, expressed their interest in the visual arts by supporting contemporary artists and collecting older works in the time of Leopold I, Karl VI and Maria Theresia. During the time of Francis II, Count Johann Nepomuk Ernst extended the gallery considerably with a fourth large section which displays the development of the collection in the early nineteenth century.
