Carl Wurzinger
Carl Wurzinger (born June 1, 1817 in Vienna , † March 16, 1883 in Döbling near Vienna) was an Austrian history painter and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
Life
Carl Wurzinger became a student of the Imperial and Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 1832 at the age of fourteen , and his first works were published in 1844. In 1847 he left Vienna to continue his education in Italy for nine years. In 1856 he became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts and headed a special school for history painting. From then on he devoted himself more to teaching than to his own artistic activity. His not very numerous works are conscientiously worked, but did not convince all critics. Wurzinger was most recently senior of the professors' college.
