This group photo was taken by Moriz Nähr just before the opening of the 14th Exhibition at the Vienna Secession, known as the “Beethoven Exhibition.” Nähr gathered the artists who were preparing for the exhibition in the main hall. He preferred natural poses and emphasized the importance of bringing the sitter’s individuality to photographs.
