The oil painting "Wiener Sängerknaben", part of the cycle "Emperor Maximilian and Art", was exhibited in the House of Music in Innsbruck to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Emperor Maximilian I. It illustrates the traditional history of Wiener Sängerknaben, which has its origins in the decision of Maximilian I, the German king and later emperor, on June 30, 1498. When he moved his court from Innsbruck to Vienna, he took some of the older Wilten Boys' Choir with him, creating the basis for the Wiener Sängerknaben . Originally consisting of six boys, later expanded to between 14 and 20, the choir's task was to provide the musical accompaniment to Holy Mass. Until 1918, the court orchestra performed exclusively for the court at masses, private parties and state occasions.
As outstanding representatives of the Austrian and international music scene, the Wiener Sängerknaben are known worldwide as Austria's cultural ambassadors. Their uniforms, mainly in blue - the everyday uniform completely in blue, the concert uniform in white with a blue collar - are a striking feature. This color scheme inspired the oil painting "Wiener Sängerknaben": The variety of shades of blue lends the painting a characteristic depth and vibrancy that impressively captures the charm and distinctiveness of Wiener Sängerknaben .
