SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Josef Willroider (1838–1915) was born in Villach and died in Munich. He develops a landscape practice attentive to inhabited places. Locally trained in carpentry and painting, he moves to Munich and Düsseldorf. His drawing of the historic lime tree at Pritschitz, around 1880, preserved in Villach’s museum, records an old tree and its accompanying cross.
Motif from the Vicinity of Pang, dated 1898, at the Städel Museum, uses pencil to describe buildings, a road and an animal-drawn vehicle. The paintings give this rural intimacy another scale: Landscape with Peasants in a Cornfield, in the Neue Pinakothek collection, occupies a small canvas. The Environs of Grafenstein, painted around 1900, belongs to the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest.
This profile brings together identity references for Josef Willroider and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
