Albrecht Riezler

Albrecht Riezler (born July 26, 1856 in Munich , Kingdom of Bavaria , † February 22, 1935 in Reutte , Tyrol ) was a German painter who worked in Tyrol.

Life

Albrecht Riezler was a son from the second marriage of the banker Joseph Riezler to Alphonsine, née Sendtner, a daughter of the writer couple Jakob Ignaz and Barbara "Betty" Sendtner . His older brothers were the historian Sigmund von Riezler and the Bavarian Major General Emanuel Riezler . Albrecht Riezler attended the boys' school of the Dom-Pfarr-Schule at Fingergasse 2 in Munich and, at the age of 14, switched to the royal district trade school in Munich, where he later received his school- leaving certificate . In the school year 1870/71 he was given a book award there ( F. v. Tschudi : Das Thierleben der Alpenwelt ).

Riezler learned painting autodidactically and from 1873 worked part-time as a painter. His main occupation was from 1874 to 1878 in a commercial position in Munich and in 1979 he went to Reutte in Tyrol, where he worked as an authorized signatory in a textile factory from February 1, 1919 until he retired . The communications of the German and Austrian Alpine Club No. 7 from 1909 indicate that he was also the chairman of the Reutte Alpine Club section.

He also worked as a portrait and landscape painter in Reutte and painted mainly in oil , some pictures also in watercolor . The motifs were mainly Tyrolean landscapes around Häselgehr , but also the Bernina region of Graubünden in Switzerland and the Baltic Sea . According to self-disclosure at the time, there was an exhibition with the Tyrolean Trade and Industry Association in the Innsbruck Thurn and Taxis Gallery .

As part of a survey of 350 Tyrolean artists by the association for "Heimatschutz in Tirol" in 1926, he stated in his questionnaire that he was widowed at that time. In addition, he referred to the point “Origin of the family” that the Riezler family came from the town of Riezlern in the Kleinwalsertal . His late wife was Caroline Riezler, nee Rautenkranz. The questionnaires were bound by the association and handed over to the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in 1927 .

Riezler died in his adopted home town.
