Matthäus Loder
Matthäus (Matthias) Loder (born May 31, 1781 in Vienna ; † September 16, 1828 in Vordernberg , Styria) was an Austrian painter of the Biedermeier era.
Life
Loder was a painter and illustrator . As a student at the Vienna Academy , he received his training under Hubert Maurer , Johann Baptist Lampi and Heinrich Friedrich Füger . The Alpine world cast a spell on him from an early age . He did nature studies with his classmate at the Karl Russ Academy . He went on study trips to the Schneeberg , Upper Styria and the Salzkammergut . For a long time he was drawing master for the Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria in Parma (Italy). There he fell ill with tuberculosis and the local climate no longer allowed him to stay there any longer. Archduchess Marie Louise thought that a life in the Styrian countryside would improve his condition and made it possible for Loder to become a chamber painter for Archduke Johann in 1816 . He accompanied the Archduke on his travels in the Alpine countries and also on many of his mountain tours. He created numerous watercolors and drawings in which the alpine landscape, the costumes of the rural population and also the working world on the Styrian Erzberg and the Styrian iron industry were captured. Above all, he also became an authentic portrayal of the Archduke's encounters with Anna Plochl . In 1823 he took up residence in Vordernberg . Loder created a glass window on the Brandhof near Mariazell , the archduke's country residence . Loder also accompanied the archduke during his spa stays in Bad Gastein . This is where his last works were created: brush drawings on dark paper showing Johann and Anna in front of the Gastein waterfalls. Like many of his contemporaries, he died of tuberculosis before his time. Matthäus Loder was buried in Vordernberg.
