DANEDI, STEFANO, called Montalto, born at Treviglio in 1608, died at Milan in 1689. Bolognese school; brother of Giuseppe D.; history painter, pupil of Morazzone. Painted many works for churches in Milan. His Martyrdom of St. Justina, in S. Maria in Pedone, is one of his best.

DANHAUSER, JOSEF, born in Vienna, Aug. 18, 1805, died there, May 4, 1845. History and genre painter, son of a cabinet-maker. After successfully devoting himself to the violin, he studied in the Vienna Academy under Peter Krafft, and in 1826 went to Venice on invitation of the poet Ladislas Pyrker, from whose Rudolph of Hapsburg he had painted several pictures with success. Discouraged by the works of Titian and Veronese, he turned from history to genre for a time, but returned to the former at a later period and gained the great prize for an historical picture in 1836. After the death of his father, in 1829, he for some years carried on the cabinet business at Vienna, gaining repute as a designer of artistic furniture. He was corrector at the Academy from 1838, then professor in 1840-42, when he resigned in consequence of critical disputes. He then travelled in North Germany, Holland, and Belgium, and might have surpassed his former efforts had not the death of his younger brother brought on a fit of melancholia, which hastened his death.
