d. Vienna, Jan. 4, 1894, architect. Main representative of late 
historicism in Vienna during the Ringstrassen period, nicknamed 
"Makart, the architect". The most significant student of A.  Sicard 
von Sicardsburg and E. van der  Nuell, chief architect of the 1873  
World Exhibition in Vienna. With G.  Semper designed the twin Museums 
of Natural History and Kunsthistorisches Museum, the new Hofburg and 
the Burgtheater. After a rift with his partner he supervised the 
construction of imperial buildings alone. Very gifted in decorative

produce a picturesque and colourful total work of art by fusing 
together various art genres.
