Josef Selleny, an Austrian painter and draftsman, is renowned for his contributions to landscape painting and his detailed travel sketches. One of his notable works, "Auf Der Novarra Reise," captures the essence of his journey aboard the SMS Novara, an Austrian frigate that undertook a scientific and exploratory circumnavigation of the globe from 1857 to 1859. This expedition, known as the Novara Expedition, was the first large-scale scientific mission of the Austrian Empire and aimed to gather extensive data in various fields such as ethnography, botany, zoology, and geology.

Selleny was invited to join the expedition as an artist, tasked with documenting the diverse landscapes, peoples, and cultures encountered during the voyage. His work, "Auf Der Novarra Reise," is a collection of sketches and paintings that provide a visual narrative of the journey. These artworks are not only significant for their artistic merit but also for their historical and scientific value, offering insights into mid-19th century exploration and the regions visited by the Novara.

The collection includes depictions of exotic locations such as South America, the Pacific Islands, Australia, and Asia, showcasing Selleny's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the unique characteristics of each locale. His works highlight the natural beauty and cultural diversity encountered during the expedition, serving as a visual complement to the scientific reports produced by the expedition's scholars.

"Auf Der Novarra Reise" stands as a testament to Selleny's skill and dedication as an artist, as well as his contribution to the documentation of one of the most significant exploratory missions of the 19th century. His legacy continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts of exploration history alike, ensuring that the visual record of the Novara Expedition remains an important part of both artistic and scientific heritage.
