Joseph Nigg

Joseph Nigg (13 October 1782 – 19 September 1863) was an Austrian painter, with painting on porcelain a specialty.

Beginning in 1835, this post also involved holding classes in painting at the factory.

With the advent of the Biedermeier Era, flower painting became immensely popular and was also to be found on large porcelain plaques.

A piece of this sort, thirty inches in height, was presented by Nigg, on behalf of the Viennese factory, at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London.

In addition to working in porcelain, Nigg also created oil paintings, watercolors, and pastel drawings.
