Franz Kulstrunk (1861 - 1944)

Franz Kulstrunk

Franz Kulstrunk was an Austrian painter, a representative of the conservative Salzburg artists.

He painted mountain, river and field landscapes, watercolors of castles and palaces in Upper Austria, and also made many drawings of traditional costume. Franz Kulstrunk's main work, however, is a colossal bird's-eye panorama of the city of Salzburg (1916), which is housed in the Salzburg Town Hall. The painting is assembled from a large number of parts.

Franz Kulstrunk spent a lot of time teaching drawing to students in various schools. In 1903 he published his textbook "Modern Drawing in Austrian Elementary Schools".
