Life and career
Life and career
Johann Nepomuk della Croce was born at Pressano, in Tyrol, in 1736. He studied under Lorenzoni, an Italian artist and after travelling in Italy, Germany, Hungary, and France, he settled at Burghausen. Felix Joseph von Lipowsky estimated that della Croce painted 5000 portraits and 200 historical pictures. There are many altar-pieces painted by him in the churches of Bavaria. A portrait of the Mozart family is traditionally attributed to him. His son Clemente or Clemens della Croce (1783–1823) was also a painter. He died in 1819.
