Joseph Holzer
Austrian painter of poetic forest landscapes
Joseph Holzer was an Austrian painter. Holzer entered the engraving school of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1840, where he received the first prize, and then attended the landscape school of Thomas Ender and Franz Steinfeld. In 1846 he went on study trips to Germany , Belgium and Switzerland and then went to Munich in 1856 as an imperial scholarship holder for three years.
