Joseph Kellerhoven

Joseph Willibald Kellerhoven (27 April 1789, Mannheim - 18 June 1849, Speyer) was a German portrait painter.

He was the son of Moritz Kellerhoven, court painter for Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria and, in 1808, one of the first professors at the expanded Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.

Joseph entered the Academy in 1809 and received practical training in the history painting department.

Shortly after, he moved to Speyer, to accept a position as a drawing teacher at the Royal gymnasium.

In 1825, the city opened a trade school, so he left the gymnasium to accept a similar position there, as the salary was higher.
