1790; exact opening and closing dates unknown
The Vienna Academy’s 1790 public exhibition belonged to the period following its move to the St Anne building in 1786. Eva Kernbauer documents the display of Martin Ferdinand Quadal’s 1787 group portrait of the Academy life class alongside Johann Jacobé’s mezzotint after that painting. The canvas portrays teachers and students working by lamplight around a male model, connecting the exhibited work with the Academy’s teaching practices. Kernbauer cites the painting as no. 60 in the manuscript catalogue and the reproductive print as no. 183 in the printed catalogue. This reconstruction links the surviving GG-100 canvas. Exact exhibition dates, the complete checklist and the particular print impression displayed remain unresolved.
