Joseph Binder (painter)

Joseph Binder (15 February 1805, Vienna - 16 April 1863, Kaltenleutgeben) was an Austrian portrait, history and religious painter.

While there, he also worked as an assistant to the Nazarene painter, Heinrich Maria von Hess, helping him decorate the Church of All Saints.

His imaginative, posthumous portrait of King Albert II is displayed in the Imperial Hall at the Römer.

In his later years, he added religious scenes to his repertoire, influenced by his earlier contact with the Nazarenes.

Under the direction of Josef von Führich, he was involved in decorating the Altlerchenfelder Pfarrkirche [de] (parish church), designing a cycle of frescoes depicting the Creation for the church's vestibule.
