Alois Delug

Alois Delug ( born May 25, 1859 in Bolzano, † September 17, 1930 in Vienna) was an Austrian painter and professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.

Life

After attending high school in Bolzano Delug started painting and was funded by the living in Bolzano painter Heinrich Creator. He moved to Innsbruck and began with the study of history, before he was recommended by Franz von Wieser at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. From 1880 he graduated from the general school of painting, from 1883, Special School for historical and portrait painting under Leopold Carl Müller. Very memorable was Delug for a three-year study tour of Italy, France, Germany and Holland before accepting orders for religious and secular history paintings in Munich. In 1896 it was the move to Vienna, where he accepted a professorship at the Academy of Art. Among his pupils were, inter alia, Anton Velim, Hans Fronius, Anton Kolig, Hubert Lanzinger, Albert Stolz, Hans and Franz Popp greeting. According to the records of Hitler's biographers Josef Greiner, Delug should have refused a place at the Academy of Arts because of its inadequate performance at his entrance exams to art school and then to the School of Architecture of Adolf Hitler in 1907.

His honorary devoted grave is on Grinzing Cemetery (Group 19, Number 190).

In 1931 in Vienna Dobling ( 19th district ) was named the Delugstraße after him.
