The Life and Legacy of Peter Strudel
Born in Cles, Italy, Peter Strudel was an Austrian painter and sculptor who played a significant role in the transition of Austria to the high baroque style. His career saw him rise to prominence in Vienna, where between 1676 and 1686, he and his brother Paul obtained a position as painters to the Imperial Court at the Hofburg.
Strudel was a central figure in the development of artistic education in Central Europe. In 1688, he founded a private art school at the Strudelhof mansion, which he had acquired in the suburbs. This institution served as the first general training centre for artists outside the painters guild. By 1705, at the behest of Emperor Joseph I, this school became the Kayserliche Academie. Strudel is considered a founder of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the oldest art academy of central Europe.
