Life
From 1822 Kravogl received drawing lessons from Jakob Pirchstaller in Merano. From 1825 to 1826 he learned painting from Josef Krafft in Vienna. From 1826 he worked as a drawing teacher and painter in Innsbruck and created portraits in oil and miniature painting on ivory and copper. In 1834 he founded a lithographic institute in which religious pictures, especially devotional pictures and pictures of the Stations of the Cross, but also music were produced. Kravogl created Umdrucke by baroque templates, but also printed their own designs in neo-Gothic and neo-Baroque style as well as designs by contemporary artists. After his death, the lithographic establishment was continued as Perkmannsche Druckerei until 1909.
Together with his wife Theresia, he endeavored for years to settle the Carmelites in Innsbruck. In 1846 the monastery was finally founded, which Kravogl continued to support.
Kravogl was the uncle of the inventor Johann Kravogl and the writer Paula Kravogl .
