Viktor Jasper
Viktor Jasper (born March 30, 1848 in Vienna , † October 10, 1931 in Vienna) was an Austrian painter, engraver and restorer.
Jasper started out as a bookseller, then trained as a copperplate engraver at the age of 20 at the Vienna Academy and later with Louis Jacoby, and began his independent work with an engraving after the wooden table in the Zurich city library , which was copied by a number of excellent portraits and Emperor Maximilian I. Dürer and St. Sebastian followed in Mantegna in the Belvederegalerie in Vienna.
His main works are the engraving after Dürer's All Saints picture (completed in 1885) and the engraving after Moretto's St. Justina (both in the Belvedere in Vienna).
A particular specialty of Jasper are his portrait engravings, executed with the greatest delicacy and extremely lively, among which those by Dürer, A. Feuerbach, Rahl, Defregger, Mandel, L. Richter, Kundmann, Zumbusch, Bürkner, Lausberger, Führich, Tilgner and Bauernfeld should be emphasized .
