Josef Kriehuber
Born : 1800Died : 1876
In Vienna, Josef Kriehuber works as a lithographer for several publishing houses, including Trentsensky; his first portraits made using this technique are published in 1826. On his return to the city, he completes his apprenticeship in 1824 or 1825.
His work also includes studies of the Prater park. A charcoal drawing attributed to Kriehuber depicts the crown of a gnarled oak; signed at the lower left, it is dated 14 July 1855 and was executed on brownish paper.
In 1860, he receives the Order of Franz Joseph. He teaches at the Theresian Academy in Vienna and ends his career as a drawing teacher, from 1867 to 1871.
Significant groups of his works are held at the Albertina and in the portrait collection of the Austrian National Library in Vienna. His work was the subject of a catalogue of portrait lithographs, of which Wolfgang von Wurzbach publishes a second edition in 1958, followed by a monograph by Selma Krasa published in 1987.
