About the artist:
Born in Klagenfurt, Herta Czoernig spent her life walking through Vienna and the surrounding countryside and using her artistic talent to capture those picturesque surroundings. She always aspired to be an artist, but, be...cause women were not yet accepted as students at the Graphic Academy of Vienna, she attended the Art School for Women and later studied in Weimar, Germany. She eventually mastered etching, and today her etchings are sought by lovers of the medium as well as lovers of Vienna. Of particular interest are her etchings of the homes of musicians and composers in Vienna, each including a vignette with a few bars of music. Ultimately, Herta's etchings were the only surviving depictions of streets and houses in Vienna destroyed during the war. Today many are in the archives of the National Library.Shortly before her death, the Albertina Museum in Vienna, home of one of the world's greatest collections of graphics, commissioned Herta Czoernig to make a plate featuring the Albertina itself. She died soon after completing this etching, her life's ambition fulfilled.
