Rural landscape Austrian Empire (1804-1867)
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.
Joseph Holzer was an Austrian painter. He studied at the etching school of the Vienna Academy of Art, then attended the landscape school of Thomas Ender and Franz Steinfeld.
Josef Holzer made study trips to Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. During his stay at Count Palfi's Stampfen Castle in the Carpathians, the majestic poetry of the virgin forests made an indelible impression on him and influenced the master's later work.
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.
