Eduard Cramolini (born July 16, 1807 in Vienna , † October 13, 1881 , also Eduard Kramolin ) was an Austrian painter and photographer .

Life

Eduard Cramolini belonged to the Bohemian family of artists, Kramolin , who Italianized their name in Cramolini . His father was a mandolin player , his brother Ludwig Cramolini an opera singer and his son Heinrich Cramolini an architect.

Cramolini studied drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from 1823 to 1826 with interruptions . He worked as a portraitist and lithographer and from around 1860 as a photographer. He was also active as a collector of valuable antiques.

Eduard Cramolini was very well networked in the Viennese art scene of his time. He was a member of the cooperative of the visual artists of Vienna and of their predecessor associations Eintracht and Albrecht Dürer Association as well as in the association Green Island . According to tradition, the Austrian name Gschnas for a costume party goes back to him. In an obituary in the Neue Freie Presse , Cramolini was characterized as "a Viennese in the pre-March meaning of the word: open, straight, coarse and quick-witted, and always ready for original ideas and grainy jokes."

In 1954 the Cramolinigasse in Vienna- Atzgersdorf was named after him.
