Christian von Ehrenfels, a philosopher from Austria, developed the theory of "Gestalt qualities" or "form qualities" in 1890, which posited that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. He argued that there are certain qualities that are immediately given in experiences, and that these qualities can persist even when the individual elements change. This idea influenced the later Gestalt psychologists, including Wertheimer.
