Artist Biography
Hubert Sattler was born in Salzburg; his father, Johann Michael Sattler, was also a landscape paint and created the Sattler Panorama of Salzburg in 1825–29. Sattler toured with his father and first learnt drawing and painting from him, then attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna at the age of 12, and his father worked with him on many of his early works.
His work is characterised by a high level of detail, in which they were displayed under lights in a dark room to customers looking through an aperture and often a magnifying lens. He painted landscapes in many European countries and also the Near East and Latin America, including views of both natural vistas and cities. His views were unusually accurate and up to date; he went on painting expeditions and then worked at home from his own detailed studies and from photographs, while many previous cosmoramas were based on old engravings. He exhibited his cosmoramas in many countries including in North America, travelling with a specially made temporary building. Late in life he spent many years in Vienna where he also passed away in 1904.
