Ludwig Wittgenstein was born to a wealthy and notable family in Vienna, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now part of Austria). At one point, he was one of the most wealthy men in Austria, and he was a patron for Ranier Maria Rilke and Georg Trakl, two of the most famous names in modern German-language poetry. His sister Margaret's wedding portrait was painted by the renowned Gustav Klimt. His
Tractatus, dedicated to someone speculated to be his lover, was written during his time spent in the trenches fighting for Austria-Hungary during WWI. He became a professor of philosophy at Cambridge University, where he focused primarily on philosophy of language.
