Friedrich Zeller (born July 12, 1817 in Steyr , Upper Austria , † December 29, 1896 in Salzburg ) was an Austrian painter .
Life
Friedrich Zeller was born in Steyr as the son of Johann Baptist Zeller. From 1832–38 he attended the Imperial and Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he studied landscape painting with Friedrich Gauermann . Zeller initially worked as a portrait painter a. a. in Vienna and Graz before settling in Salzburg in 1852, where he became one of the busiest painters of his time, particularly as a landscape, animal and architectural painter. In 1864 the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I bought a picture of a mountain with a group of chamois from him. In addition to orders from the nobility, u. a. by Archduke Ludwig Viktor, he sold paintings to art associations, including from Germany. On the recommendation of Sophie Fürstin von Arenberg, he finally came to the House of Arenberg in Brussels as a commissioned painter and prince tutor from the end of the 1870s . An album with views of the Arenberg estates in the Eifel, Lower Rhine, Ruhr and Emsland was created for the ducal family by 1892.
