The Age of Baroque
In 1683 the Turks were defeated outside the gates of Vienna and the confidence that came from this victory ushered in an age of splendour in Austrian history.
Over the next 50 years, architects like Lukas von Hildebrandt and the two Fischers von Erlach, father and son, designed buildings that had no equal in Europe for the grandeur of their design or the richness of their decoration.
This film, made by Austrian Television, shows how all the arts came together at this time. Commentator WILLIAM FOX
