The centre of Sofia mixes Neo-Baroque, Neo-Rococo and Neoclassical buildings, but also shows a bold Austrian art movement from around 1900 led by Gustav Klimt. Museum collections in Lviv include works by artists from this movement. Which turn-of-the-century movement links them?

Question

Accepted Answer

Vienna Secession. Both Lviv and Sofia bear the mark of the Vienna Secession, the turn-of-the-century Austrian art movement led by Gustav Klimt. Its influence spread across Central and Eastern Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
