DANHAUSER, JOSEF, born in Vienna,
Aug. 18, 1805, died
there, May 4, 1845.
History and genre
painter, son of a cabinet-maker.
After successfully
devoting himself
to the violin, he
studied in the Vienna
Academy under Peter
Krafft, and in 1826
went to Venice on invitation
of the poet Ladislas Pyrker, from
whose Rudolph of Hapsburg he had painted
several pictures with success. Discouraged
by the works of Titian and Veronese, he
turned from history to genre for a time, but
returned to the former at a later period and
gained the great prize for an historical picture
in 1836. After the death of his father,
in 1829, he for some years carried on the
cabinet business at Vienna, gaining repute
as a designer of artistic furniture. He was
corrector at the Academy from 1838, then
professor in 1840-42, when he resigned in
consequence of critical disputes. He then
travelled in North Germany, Holland, and
Belgium, and might have surpassed his former
efforts had not the death of his younger
brother brought on a fit of melancholia,
which hastened his death. Works: Abraham
