Richard Schwager starb 1880 in Rodaun.
Richard Schwager was born in 1822 at Duppau/Boehmen.
While working as a pharmacist he started to study arts in 1847 at the Academy of Viena. His teachers were Johann Nepomuk Ender and Leopold Kupelwieser. 1851 Richard Schwager became a member of the Viena Art House. He was an excellent portrait-paiter, who specialised in miniature portraits.. Voyages through Germany, France, Belgium, England and Russia made him well-known in Europe and offered him paiting jobs both with the nobility and the wealthy middle classes. He joined the artists group around Moritz Michael Daffinger, and his miniatures were so well executed people called him the "Miniature-Amerling" in his lifetime.
Richard Schwager died in 1880 ar Rodaun.
