Life
Born as the son of a police officer, Noltsch studied from 1852 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna under Joseph von Führich and then at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten Antwerp under Joseph van Lerius .
After completing his studies, he returned to Vienna and showed his works at St. Annhof in Vienna . In 1869 he became a member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus . In addition to his artistic and educational activities, he organized artist festivals (Gschnasfeste des Künstlerhaus) and performed himself.
Noltsch became a lecturer in 1872 and was professor for figure and landscape drawing at the Technical University in Vienna from 1891 to 1904 . He made the first 20 portraits for the university's rector's gallery . Some of these were painted from photographs, as some of the rectors had already died.
In the last years of his life he turned to literature. In the circle of the Iduna Association , he met Richard von Kralik , who introduced him to the Austrian Leo Society . In 1897 his poems “Hallstätter Träumereien” appeared, in his autobiographical “Bilder aus Wien” (1st part 1901) he described the life of the Viennese artist and student milieu.
After his retirement in 1904 he moved to Innsbruck to live with his son-in-law.
