Life

Richard Alfred Eugen Jettel was born the son of Ladislaus Hugo Jettel, an ironworks manager, and Sophie Jettel. After the mother's death, the family moved to Vienna .

In 1860 the 15-year-old half-orphan came to Albert Zimmermann's (1808-1888) class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna , where he worked with Emil Jakob Schindler (1842-1892), Robert Russ (1847-1922) and Rudolf Ribarz (1848–1904) met and studied landscape painting until 1869 . Study trips took him to France , Holland , Italy , Istria and Hungary .

Because of a well-paid contract offered by the Austrian art dealer Charles Sedelmayer, who lived in Paris , Eugen Jettel moved to the French capital in 1875, where he led a successful life. He exhibited regularly between 1877 and 1881 in the Salon des Champs-Elysées and between 1890 and 1897 also in the Salon du Champ du Mars and he was nominated as a member of the World Exhibition Jury. As a special honor he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor .

Cilli Jettel-Mailer ( Eduard Charlemont )

Charles Sedelmayer had probably hoped that Eugen Jettel would marry his daughter. But when the latter from Vienna had Cilli Mailer, the daughter of a glove manufacturer, come and married, Sedelmayer cut the remuneration, so that the couple repeatedly ran into financial difficulties.

Eugen Jettel was the center of a circle of Austrian and German artists in Paris, but he also maintained contacts with French artists and made contact with the circle of the Barbizon School .

An inheritance gave him the means to return to Vienna in 1897, where he was also successful and Archduke Carl Stephan and his wife, Archduchess Maria Theresia , became his special supporters. During the last years of his life he traveled repeatedly to Istria , where he continued to devote himself to landscape painting.

Eugen Jettel died in Lussingrande before the start of a study trip with Archduke Carl Stephan , which was to take her to the Adriatic region, and was buried on September 1, 1901 in the St. Anna cemetery in Trieste . In 1916 the grave was abandoned.

Eugen Jettel's brother Wladimir Eugen Eduard Jettel also became a landscape painter. However, he received his training in Dresden .
