Friedrich Loos (1797 - 1890)

Friedrich Loos studied landscape painting in 1813 and 1816–1821 at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts with Josef Mössmer (1780–1895) and Josef Fischer (1769–1822). His fellow-students included Thomas Ender (1793–1875), Johann Fischbach (1797–1871) and Friedrich Gauermann (1807–1862). From 1821 to 1823 he took solitary walking tours through the Austrian Alps. He spent the years 1826–1835 in Salzburg, where he collaborated on the landscape in the panoramic painting of the town of Salzburg by Johann Michael Sattler (1786–1847). After further sojourns, in 1853 he settled in Kiel where, ten years later, he taught drawing at the university.
