This beautifully produced catalog accompanies the major exhibition Biedermeier: The Rise of an Era at the Leopold Museum in Vienna. Richly illustrated with over 260 images, it explores the Biedermeier period (1815–1848) through painting, drawing, furniture, fashion, porcelain, and glasswork.

The book features essays by noted scholars including Lili‑Vienne Debus, Sabine Grabner, and Stefan Kutzenberger, highlighting the artistic, social, and cultural shifts of the time — from post-Napoleonic Europe to the rise of the bourgeois interior. The exhibition includes loans from major collections in Prague, Budapest, Ljubljana, Venice, and Milan.
