Alois Delug (born May 25, 1859 in Bozen , † September 17, 1930 in Vienna ) was an Austrian painter and professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts .

Life

After attending grammar school in Bolzano, Delug began painting and was supported by the painter Heinrich Schöpfer, who lives in Bolzano . He moved to Innsbruck and began studying history there before being recommended to the art academy in Vienna by Franz von Wieser . From 1880 he completed the general painting school there, from 1883 the special school for history and portrait painting with Leopold Carl Müller . A three-year study trip through Italy , France , Germany and Holland was very memorable for Delug before he accepted orders for religious and profane historical pictures in Munich. In 1896 he moved to Vienna, where he accepted a professorship at the art academy. His students included u. a. Anton Velim , Hans Fronius , Anton Kolig , Hubert Lanzinger , Albert Stolz , Hans Popp, Adolf Helmberger , Franz Lerch and Franz Gruss . Also in 1896 he received a small gold medal at the International Art Exhibition in Berlin . According to the notes of the Hitler biographer Josef Greiner , Delug is said to have refused Adolf Hitler a place at the art academy in 1907 because of his inadequate performance in his entrance exams to the painting school and then to the architecture school .

Alois Delug's honorary grave is in the Grinzinger Friedhof (group 19, number 190).

In 1931, Delugstrasse in Vienna- Döbling (19th district) was named after him.
