Wilhelm Koller, a Central Swiss artist, gained renown in the 19th century for his captivating depictions of historical scenes. One of his most famous works, "The Emperor Maximilian and Albrecht Dürer," showcases the meeting between the emperor and the renowned artist in the early 16th century. Koller's interpretation of this encounter, as well as his painting "Othon" from 1893, can be found in various art collections. However, Koller's influence extended beyond the art world. Thomas Brown's 19th-century painting "The Emperor Maximilian and Albrecht Dürer" also features this intriguing subject. Moreover, Koller's painting "Philippa Welseren Begging Pardon From Emperor Ferdinand I For Her Morganatic Marriage To His Son," published in L'Univers Illustre in 1868, adds to his extensive body of work. Koller's impact on art is further emphasized by Egon Schiele's charcoal drawing of him, created in 1918. Lastly, it's worth noting that there were two notable figures named Rudolf Koller, both born in 1828, adding to the intrigue surrounding this versatile artist.
