Johann Till the Younger (born July 19, 1827 in Vienna ; died November 21, 1894 there ) was an Austrian painter.

Life

He received his first training from his father, Johann Till the Elder (born in 1800 in Hohenstadt, Moravia, died on January 23, 1889 in Vienna), who primarily painted genre scenes. Johann Till the Younger studied from 1841 to 1847 and from 1849 to 1865 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna . From 1852 to 1858 and from 1860 to 1862 he attended the master school under Leopold Kupelwieser , from which he was significantly influenced. From 1862 to 1865 he attended Christian Ruben's master school . In 1849 he received the Lampi Prize. He made numerous trips to Italy, Germany ( Düsseldorf ) and France. His genre scenes, which show his preferences for detail and color, were exhibited in the art academy in Vienna. He was a sensitive observer of his surroundings. He also often painted farm animals. His brother Leopold Till was also a well-known painter.

In 1847 Johann Till the Younger exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Between 1851 and 1872 he was mainly represented at the exhibitions of the Austrian Art Association. Johann Till the Younger devoted himself to genre painting and history painting with particular devotion. From 1870 Till was a member of the cooperative of visual artists Vienna (Künstlerhaus).

The Vienna Belvedere owns 26 works of art by Johann Till the Younger.

The painting “Marzellin Ortner defends Klosterneuburg” is in the Red Salon of Klosterneuburg Abbey.
