Lithographer and miniaturist Josef Lanzedelly (also Lancedelli) the Elder was born in Ampezzo, South Tyrol, in 1772 (and not in 1774 as some sources say). He studied at the Academies of Venice and Vienna. This most versatile and productive Viennese lithographer of the early period of new print technique created extensive series of scientific reproductions as well as numerous portraits, genre scenes and caricatures. He dedicated himself almost completely to lithography, working for "Lithographic Institute". His successful attempts in the field of colour lithography together with Peter Fendi between 1819 and 1823 made this technique flourish in Vienna. Lanzedelly was also active as miniaturist. Influenced by Augustin and Guerin, he created numerous miniature portraits, depicting mostly persons of middle-class, theatre and art circles. The artist died in Vienna in 1831 (and not in 1832). His son, Joseph Lanzedelly the Younger (1807-1873), was also a well-known Viennese artist

Otto Robert Nowak graduated from the General Drawing School, was a guest student at the Vienna Academy in 1891 and from 1893 was a full student at the General Painting School under Julius Berger . He also studied at the master school for history painting under Siegmund L'Allemand and Franz Rumpler . From 1899 he was self-employed as a painter and also gave painting lessons.

He was friends with the Austrian architect Max Hegele. Hegele had a house in Weidlingau near Vienna where Otto Nowak and his wife Hedi Nowak-Reimer spent many summers. Both artists were members of the Vienna Künstlerhaus.

In addition to drawings, gouaches and watercolors, Nowak created portraits and historical paintings in oil, landscape paintings, religious art and small-format genre paintings in which he depicts a Biedermeier Vienna of the 19th century. One of his favorite motifs was the life of Franz Schubert , of whom he drew portraits, illustrations of his life in Vienna and the surrounding area and of his music. Otto Nowak's works are accessible in the Vienna Museum (*Wikipedia).
