Josef Kriehuber was a renowned painter and lithographer, best known for his portraits. Thanks to his mastery in portraying men with nobility and women with beauty, he became the most sought-after and best-paid portraitist in Vienna during the Biedermeier period. Over the course of his career, he produced nearly three thousand portraits, including depictions of leading figures such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Emperor Francis I of Austria, and Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. In 1860, he became the very first visual artist to be awarded the Order of Franz Joseph I. He spent the final years of his life in poverty, as his work was profoundly affected by advances in photography.
