Life

Julius von Schlosser's parents were Wilhelm Valentin von Schlosser (* May 24, 1820; † March 9, 1870) and Sophie Maria Eiberger (* September 8, 1830; † September 28, 1916).

In 1889 he did his dissertation in Vienna on the subject of "The Ordo Farfensis and the monastery complex of the early Middle Ages in the West".

Von Schlosser was an important representative of the Vienna School of Art History . In 1901 he became director of the collection for sculpture and applied arts of the Kunsthistorisches Museum . He was appointed professor in 1905 and in 1922 as successor to Max Dvořák full professor at the II Institute. In 1903 the Austrian Archaeological Institute selected him as a corresponding member. In 1909 he became a corresponding and in 1914 a full member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences . The Bavarian Academy of Sciences made him a corresponding member in 1929.

Schlosser was particularly concerned with art historical source studies, i.e. with literary evidence that theoretically dealt with art, and in 1924 wrote a history of art literature . Here he achieved outstanding achievements, but also in the field of specialized topics such as wax portraits or the chambers of curiosities , i.e. the museum of the early modern era.

Already in the 1920s, for purely national motives, Schlosser was an advocate of the "annexation" of Austria to Germany in the sense of the Greater German solution .
