Joseph Höger
Joseph Höger (born November 3, 1801 in Vienna , † May 13, 1877 in Vienna) was an Austrian landscape painter , watercolorist , etcher and lithographer .
Together with his brother-in-law Friedrich Gauermann, Joseph Höger undertook several art hikes, for example to Venice and Northern Italy in 1838 . In 1843 he became a professor at the Vienna Academy , where he had also studied.
He is known for his atmospheric and at the same time dramatic forest and mountain landscapes, but also for his fine and detailed watercolors. That is why he was jokingly given the nickname "Trees-Raffael" in the circle of friends. For this reason, many of his sheets were used as templates for lithographs .
