SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The Austrian landscape and animal painter Carl Reichert — also known as Karl Reichert — develops a body of work in which portraits of dogs and cats hold an important place. Born in Vienna in 1836, he dies in Graz in 1918. He is the son of the animal painter, portraitist and lithographer Heinrich Reichert. According to Robert Simon Fine Art, he begins his studies in Graz at the age of fourteen, at the Ständische Zeichnungsakademie, then continues his training at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and stays in Rome.
On his return to Austria, he paints landscapes, urban scenes and animals; he also depicts various sites in Styria in his landscapes. His animal painting includes genre scenes featuring dogs, cats and horses, as well as portraits of pets belonging to affluent people. This activity includes special commissions: at Reinthal Castle, Baron von Hügel asks him to paint portraits of his two pointers.
In 1874, Reichert becomes a member of the Vienna artists’ association and exhibits at the Vienna Künstlerhaus. During his career, he also works under the pseudonym J. Hartung. His works are recorded, in particular, at Neue Galerie Graz and in private collections.
