Franz Schrotzberg, an artist whose brush brought Vienna's high society to life during the Biedermeier period, left his mark on the 19th century of Austrian painting. He was born in Vienna on April 2, 1811, and died in Graz on May 29, 1889. With his brilliant portraits, which still shine in the art world's memory, Schrotzberg was a major player in Vienna's cultural landscape. Our art prints of his works are a tribute to his extraordinary talent and ability to capture personality and emotion on canvas.
Schrotzberg's journey to mastery began in the classrooms of the Vienna Academy, where he studied from 1825 to 1831. His extraordinary talent was recognized at a young age, and he was awarded a scholarship and several prizes. The landscapes of his friend and mentor Karl Marko shaped his artistic development, although he quickly turned to portraiture. His opulent style, often controversial among his contemporaries, gave his portraits of ladies an incomparable dignity and elegance that made him the most sought-after portrait painter in Vienna.
Schrotzberg was not only a talented painter, but also an accomplished traveler who honed his artistic skills through study trips to Italy, Germany, Belgium, London and Paris. His fame reached a peak when he painted the youthful beauty of Empress Elisabeth, which solidified his status as the preferred painter of the aristocracy. A member of the Academy since 1843 and a recipient of the Order of Franz Joseph since 1867, Schrotzberg was a respected member of the art community. His oil paintings of the imperial family and high nobility often served as models for portrait lithographs by renowned artists such as Josef Kriehuber, August Prinzhofer, Adolf Dauthage and Franz Eybl.
Our art prints of Schrotzberg's work are a reflection of our appreciation of his art and our commitment to keeping his important legacy alive. Each art print we reproduce is not only a reminder of Schrotzberg's remarkable talent, but also a sign of our tireless efforts to preserve the quality and spirit of his original works. With every art print we create, we strive to convey Schrotzberg's unique vision and style so that you can experience the beauty and richness of his art in your own space.
