Geiger, Prof. Peter Johann Nepomuk (11.01.1805 - 29.10.1880) |
Austrian painter and draughtsman. Geiger's father was a sculptor, which is why he also wanted to devote himself to sculpture, but then he worked more in drawing and painting and studied at the Academy. As an illustrator, he created numerous works for history and poetry from the early 1840s, but also large-scale oil paintings for members of the imperial family. He also became the private drawing teacher of Emperor Franz Joseph I. In 1850 Geiger accompanied Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria on his journey to the Orient and created numerous illustrations. From 1853 he worked as a professor at the Vienna Academy. Geiger designed the 1-Gulden note of 1848, the 10-Gulden banknote of 1854 and the 100-Gulden banknote of 1863. Lit.: C. L. Wiesboeck, Peter J. N. Geiger's Werke oder Verzeichniss saemmtlicher Radirungen, lithographischen Feder- und Kreidezeichnungen (1867). |
