Emanuel Stöckler

Emanuel Stöckler (24 December 1819, Nikolsburg - 5 November 1893, Bozen) was an Austrian painter, notable for his interior portraits.

His interests took another turn, however, and he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, with the landscape painter, Thomas Ender, and Joseph Mössmer.

In 1838 he was awarded the Gundel-Prize for excellence and began participating in the Acedmy's exhibits, which he continued to do annually for many years.

Two years later, he presented the Institut für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung (historical research), with a collection of seals he had acquired from the estate of his cousin, Eduard Melly [de], an art historian who was one of the foremost experts on that subject.

During his lifetime, he was primarily known as a landscape painter, who created views from throughout Eastern and Southern Europe.
