Hubert Sattler

Hubert Sattler was an Austrian painter who also signed works under the pseudonyms Louis Ritschar, E. Grossen and Gottfried Stächli-Richen. He studied painting at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.

Hubert Sattler travelled extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East and Latin America, and was known for his large and meticulously detailed cosmoramas of cities, monuments and landscapes of various countries. Cosmoramas were exhibitions of perspective paintings of various places, often world landmarks; careful use of lighting and lenses gave the images great realism.
