Artist
Joseph Hickel
Joseph Hickel is a Biedermeier artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Palace of Caserta.
A painter of Imperial courts in the late 1700s, Joseph Hickel captured the Habsburgs in oils. His brush left us the Portrait of Empress Maria Theresa and a formal likeness of Archduke Rainer Joseph. Every lace cuff and sash reads like embroidery stitched in paint, showing how silk and silver thread looked under candlelight. Tap into the same candlelit scene by viewing the Archduke’s portrait up close.
