Hubert Sattler (21 January 1817 – 3 April 1904) was an Austrian landscape painter who worked under the pseudonyms Louis Ritschard, E. Grossen, and Gottfried Stähly-Rychen.
Biography[]
Hubert Sattler was born in Salzburg; his father, Johann Michael Sattler, was also a landscape painter and created the Sattler Panorama of Salzburg in 1825–29. Hubert donated it and more than 300 of his own works to the city in 1870; the panorama is on permanent display in the Panorama Museum inside the Salzburg Museum, together with a rotating exhibit drawn from approximately 150 of his cosmoramas held by the museum.[1]
Sattler toured with his father and first learnt drawing and painting from him,[2] then attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna at the age of 12, and his father worked with him on many of his early works.[3]
His work is characterised by a high level of detail, in which they were displayed under lights in a dark room to customers looking through an aperture and often a magnifying lens.[2][3] He painted landscapes in many European countries and also the Near East and Latin America, including views of both natural vistas and cities.[4] His views were unusually accurate and up to date; he went on painting expeditions and then worked at home from his own detailed studies and from photographs,[1] while many previous cosmoramas were based on old engravings.[2] On her 1842 journey to the Near East, Ida Pfeiffer of Vienna met him and travelled with him for a while; in her published diary, she recorded how he was stoned by local people while sketching in Damascus.[5] He exhibited his cosmoramas in many countries including in North America, travelling with a specially made temporary building. Late in life he spent many years in Vienna.[2]
Sattler's son, also Hubert Sattler, was an ophthalmologist.
He died in Vienna and is buried in Salzburg in an honorary grave together with his father.[3] The Hubert-Sattler-Gasse in the Neustadt area of Salzburg was named in his honour.
