Three women managed to gain respect and fame as independent painters towards the end of the 19th century. It was Olga Wisinger-Florian in particular, alongside Tina Blau and Marie Egner, whose artistic oeuvres were part of landscape painting's avant-garde beginning in the 1880s. By means of sharp lines of perspective and high horizons, the painter experimented with new experiences of space and sight, photographic parallels can be identified with her tendency towards close-ups, whose attention to detail she moved away from, especially in her late work, in favour of an unusual and groundbreaking colour expressionism. Olga Wisinger-Florian, who had also fought for the rights of women, was one of the most acclaimed female artists of her time and could count the high nobility and the imperial family among her clients.
