Life

Ribarz studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Albert Zimmermann , where he made friends with Emil Jakob Schindler and Eugen Jettel . From 1870 to 1872 he traveled to South Tyrol , Trentino and Venice , followed by a study visit to Brussels in 1875 . In 1876 Ribarz moved to Paris , where he had contact with Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and the Barbizon School . Study trips took him to Holland ( Wezep , Dordrecht , Rotterdam ) and Normandy, among others . In 1892 he returned to Vienna and despite his long absence was offered the management of the flower painting department at the Vienna School of Applied Arts . There he first used the simple, internalized landscape painting ( Paysage intime ) of the French, later a more decorative form of landscape representation. In 1900 he had to give up this activity due to his gradually worsening nervous condition.

Rudolf Ribarz died in 1904; he is buried in the Döblinger Friedhof in an honorary grave (group 32, row 5, number 13). In 1936 Ribarzgasse in Vienna- Ottakring (16th district) was named after him.
