Karl Schmoll von Eisenwerth

Karl Schmoll von Eisenwerth (18 May 1879, Vienna – 7 July 1948, Gut Osternberg, near Braunau am Inn) was an Austrian-born German painter, graphic artist, and glass designer in the Art Nouveau style.

He was the second of four sons born to Anton Adolph Schmoll [de], a civil engineer, originally from Sankt Wendel.

In 1906, he taught printmaking and drawing at a progressive private art school, operated by Hermann Obrist and Wilhelm von Debschitz.

During his time there, he created a cycle of six paintings on the Nibelungenlied, in Worms (lost during World War II),[1] and a large mural depicting a scene from the Odyssey, at the University Library of Tübingen.

[2] His correspondence with the industrialist, Ludwig von Heyl [de], makes it clear that he was no friend of National Socialism.
