Riedel, C. J. is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Portrait prints from early 1800s Vienna capture composers and clerics in crisp black lines. Two surviving sheets—one of Abbé Gelinek, another of Johann Adam Hiller—show lace cuffs and quill pens in stark profile, the kind of crisp outlines that filled Vienna’s print shops before photography. Hung side by side, the prints read like a who’s-who of church choirs and concert halls. Want to see how Vienna looked on paper in 1802? Tap L’Abbé Gelinek.
