AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Albert Janesch (* 12. June 1889 in Vienna; † 10. May 1973 in the same place) was an Austrian portrait and genre painter.
Life
Janesch studied from 1904 to 1912 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna; his teachers were Siegmund L’Allemand and Franz Rumpler.
During World War I, Janesch was taken on 20 October 1915 as a war painter into the war press quarters’ art group of the k.u.k. war press headquarters. He initially worked in Belgrade, then Trieste and subsequently, until autumn 1916, at various sections of the Isonzo front. From December 1917 to June 1918 he was on the Turkish front.[1] In 1916 he received the 1st prize of the War Memorial Competition. He was listed in the registers of the war press headquarters until November 1918.[2]
During World War II, Janesch was again used as a war painter, working on the south and west coasts of France, in Russia and Greece.[3] In a letter to the editor-in-chief of the Nazi party newspaper Der Hoheitsträger[4] he explained in 1941 his painting design Der illegale Kämpfer and reported in detail what prompted him in 1932 to apply for membership in the NSDAP ("the cleansing of Wiener art life from Jewish and Masonic spirit"). De facto he joined the party only on 18 February 1933 (membership number 1.600.275).[5][6] Janesch was represented at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich in 1937, 1938, 1940 and 1941. There he mainly showed war scenes of the Wehrmacht and, in 1941, portraits of Nazi military leaders Karl Eibl and Friedrich Siebert. Two of the paintings were purchased by Hitler.
After the war Janesch received the commission to fresco the „Eisensaal“ of the newly erected artillery hall (Arsenal Object 2) of the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum. Thus he carried out in 1952/53 the fresco “The Artillery of Emperor Maximilian I.”, for which a painting by Jörg Kölderer served as a model. The frescoes were completed on 25 March 1954.[7]
