Josef Höger

Atmospheric dramatic landscapes and detailed watercolors

Joseph Höger was an Austrian landscape painter, watercolorist, etcher and lithographer . Together with his brother-in-law Friedrich Gauermann, Joseph Höger undertook several art hikes, for example to Venice and Northern Italy in 1838. In 1843 he became a professor at the Vienna Academy, where he had also studied. He is known for his atmospheric and at the same time dramatic forest and mountain landscapes, but also for his fine and detailed watercolors. That is why he was jokingly given the nickname "Trees-Raffael" in the circle of friends. For this reason, many of his sheets were used as templates for lithographs.
