Ulrich Glantschnigg ( baptized August 18, 1661 in Hall in Tirol ; † November 24, 1722 in Bolzano ) was an Austrian painter of the Baroque period , who mainly worked in what is now South Tyrol .

Life

Glantschnigg, who came from Hall in Tirol and for whom the name Landschneck has been handed down, moved with his parents to Bozen in 1671, where he first received lessons from the painter Franz von Teitenhofer (Deutenhofer) and then from Heinrich Frisch in Meran . Of decisive importance was his further training with Johann Carl Loth in Venice , with whom he stayed for six or seven years and with whom he later had a lifelong friendship. Then he traveled on through Italy and Switzerland (longer stay in Rorschach ), as well as to Munich and Braunau am Inn . In 1683 he applied for citizenship in Bolzano, which he only received after his marriage to Anna Tasser in 1686. His first wife died in 1693, after which he married Maria Reichhalter in 1694. Of his ten children, Johann Ulrich Glantschnigg also became a painter. He lived in Bolzano until his death.

Ulrich Glantschnigg left an extensive work behind and worked as a panel and fresco painter. He created altar and devotional pictures, portraits, genre pictures, animal pictures and still lifes , as a fresco artist he carried out orders for churches as well as for private houses. The different quality of his work is probably due to the collaboration of his sons in later years. His figure representations are well drawn, but the lighting shows defects. Glantschnigg as a forerunner of Tyrolean genre painting has far-reaching significance .
