zoom
The Austrian artist Josef Ignaz Mildorfer was one of the most accomplished students of the renowned painter Paul Troger. After the mid−18th century, he was also active as a fresco painter in Moravia. In Vienna, he received two prestigious commissions – frescoes for the Imperial Crypt (Kapuzinergruft) in Vienna and the pavilion of the Imperial Menagerie in Schönbrunn. The National Gallery in Prague holds two of Mildorfer’s preparatory drawings for the frescoes in the Imperial Crypt, as well as this drawing with motifs from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, which is a preparatory sketch for a part of the decoration of the Imperial Menagerie’s pavilion.
