The Austrian painter Franz Richard Unterberger belongs to the greats of his art. For his impressive nature painting he was and is known all over the world, far beyond the borders of his Tyrolean home Innsbruck. Born in 1837 as the son of an art dealer in the idyllic mountain landscape of the Alps, he came into contact with his two life themes, art and nature, at an early age. Unterberger's family was not poor, but neither was it overly wealthy. This led the young Franz, after completing his schooling, to first decide to attend a commercial academy. But he soon gave up the commercial school and enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich - one of the most prestigious art academies in Germany, even and already in the 19th century, when Unterberger studied there. Landscape and nature painting had always been the central focus of his artistic work, and his mentors recognized early on that the painter had a very special talent. On the advice of his professors, he set out on journeys to get to know the landscapes of Europe, both those of the north and those of the south. His first long trip took Unterberger to Norway, where, impressed by the Nordic nature, he painted numerous works of art that are still among his most important today. Among them, "On the Hardanger Fjord in Norway" and "Norwegian Wedding Party".
Classic colors and a natural and realistic approach to nature and people in his works, he remained true to throughout his life. And this is what makes his works so appealing. The viewer can empathize with the scenery, the feeling is transported and preserved. People also appear in Unterberger's art, but never centrally in the center, but in harmony with nature. This creates a harmony that is unparalleled.After spending some time in the north, Franz Richard Unterberger set off again towards the south and his next travels took him to Italy. Inspired by the special atmosphere, the colors and the nature of Italy, many of his pictures with world fame were created there. From Venice to Naples, Unterberger captured the landscape of Italy, in all its beauty and diversity. Moorish influences, found especially in southern Italy, inspired his works to a great extent. Fascinated by the Moorish architecture and fauna, which combines perfectly with the Italian, he repeatedly painted oil paintings that combine European restraint with the intensity of a 1001 nights feeling.
The artist's paintings were regularly shown at exhibitions and also always bought immediately. From Brussels to Dusseldorf to Paris and Capri, everywhere people coveted his art and were also willing to invest for it. This brought him prosperity and allowed him to rise to the higher society. Unterberger is often described as an elegant man who knew how to express himself and whose company was sought by many people. Nevertheless, he remained a bachelor throughout his life. In later years of his creative life, he opened a studio near Paris, where he worked when he was not traveling. The artist died there in 1902 as a result of a stroke, at the age of 64. To this day, Unterberger's art is exhibited in numerous museums around the world and continues to gain in value.
