Georg Fischhof (1859 - 1914)

Georg Fischhof

Georg Fischhof was an Austrian portrait, figure and landscape painter.

Fischhof initially studied architecture, but later devoted himself to painting and studied at the Vienna School of Applied Arts and in Munich. After his return to Vienna he shifted his work to the painted imitation of tapestries. Frequent subjects are Dutch coastal and harbour views, Italian landscapes by the water and rural scenes with a stream or path. In almost every work there are sketched persons / children with only suggested facial features, often a column of smoke from a chimney and in seascapes frequently seagulls in flight, in Italian views umbrella acacias and cypresses.
