Olga Wisinger-Florian (1844–1926) was an Austrian painter known for landscapes, gardens and flowers. Born in Vienna, she initially trained as a pianist and performed professionally until a hand injury forced her to abandon music. She subsequently studied painting, including with Emil Jakob Schindler, and developed an independent artistic career.
Her early landscapes belonged to the Austrian tradition of atmospheric or ‘mood’ painting. From the 1880s she increasingly used energetic brushwork and stronger colours, concentrating on gardens, woodland paths and changing seasons. Her Falling Leaves (1899) belongs to this interest in autumn landscapes and the textures of nature.
Wisinger-Florian exhibited internationally and attracted collectors among the Austrian aristocracy. She was also active in organisations promoting women artists. Alongside Tina Blau and Marie Egner, she helped establish a place for women in the professional landscape painting of late nineteenth-century Austria. She died in Grafenegg in 1926.

Glasgow and the Mackintosh Style
We recently took ourselves off to Scotland, and on our travels, we popped into the Mackintosh Tea Rooms in Glasgow for a bit of a nose around and a spot of lunch.
