Life

Joseph Schwarz was born in Spittelgrund No. 3 near Grottau an der Neisse in northern Bohemia. He was the fourth son of the field gardener Wenzel Schwarz and Anna Bernert. He was baptized in the Roman Catholic Creed in the parish church of St. Bartholomew in Grottau. There were five brothers of the 16 children who had the profession of sculptor and history painter.

Act

Joseph Schwarz is only very rarely mentioned directly in sources. As an employee in his brother Franz Schwarz's studio, he will undoubtedly have been directly involved in numerous works. In rare cases, works are directly attributed to him.
