RAHL, KARL, born in Vienna, Aug. 13, 1812, died there, July 9, 1865. History and portrait painter, son of the engraver Karl Heinrich Rahl, pupil of Vienna Academy; won the first prize in 1832, visited Germany, Hungary, and France, then studied in Rome (1836-43) after the antique; returned to Vienna, and in 1845 went to Holstein, and in 1847 to Copenhagen, where he painted several members of the Danish court. After living a few years in Munich, he was called in 1850 to Vienna as temporary professor at the Academy, but resigned after one term and opened a school of painting, where he instructed eighty pupils, among whom were Bitterlich, Eisenmenger, Griepenkerl, Lotz, and Than. For years disregarded and slighted—his grand compositions for the decoration of the Vienna Arsenal having also been refused—he at last obtained deserved prominence through the patronage of Baron Sina, executed a number of monumental exterior and interior decorations in palaces and public buildings of Vienna, and in 1863 was nominated professor at the Academy.
