Josef Gold (painter)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Gold (born February 2, 1840 in Bruck an der Glocknerstrasse , † May 15, 1922 in Salzburg ) was an Austrian painter and restorer during the late Biedermeier period and historicism . He is the grandfather of the painter Rudolf Szyszkowitz .

Life

Crucifixion of St. Andrew, ceiling painting in the parish church of Kitzbühel , 1897
Annunciation to Maria, secret column I of the Maria Plain station path , around 1910

Josef Gold studied with Moritz von Schwind in Munich from 1861–62 , then worked first in Sankt Johann im Pongau and from 1870 in the city of Salzburg. He created almost exclusively religious paintings. Together with Sebastian Stief and Josef Rattensperger, Josef Gold was an important representative of the art of the Nazarenes in Salzburg. The Nazarenes wanted to represent simplicity and genuine sentimentality, but their works often lost their originality due to frequent repetitions and stereotypes as well as sweetness perceived as kitschy. Josef Gold retained the naturalistic formal language of the Nazarenes even after Anton Faistauer, for example, used much more impressive and contemporary means in painting with the design of the Morzger church.

Works

The Dehio Salzburg 1986 for the city and province of Salzburg lists 40 places in the federal state of Salzburg in which church works by Josef Gold have been preserved. Important works are the ceiling painting in the nave of the parish and pilgrimage church in Dürrnberg , the Anifer choir arch fresco , the altarpiece in the Salzburg - Nonntal nursing home church , the fresco of the Herz-Jesu-Asylkirche in Salzburg- Riedenburg , the high altar of the branch church Gois , and outside the federal state the crucifixion scene of the parish church of Ried im Innkreis and the ceiling paintings of the parish church of Kitzbühel in Tyrol. In addition to frescoes, Gold created oil paintings on canvas and painted the wings of numerous neo-Gothic winged altars (parish church Nussdorf am Haunsberg , parish church Lamprechtshausen , parish church Lessach , parish church Lofer ).
