After graduating from high school in 1888, Reschreiter studied at Wilhelmsgymnasium, at the Academy of Fine Arts at Munich under Gabriel von Hackl. He painted mainly in the watercolor technique, specifically Gouache, and was praised for his hyper-realistic depiction of nature. Some of his most famous depictions include the Waxenstein ridge, Höllentalferner glacier, and the castle at Kufstein. In 1903 he traveled with the Geographer Hans Meyer to the Cordilleras in Ecuador, specifically the completely glaciated Chimborazo. Reschreiter then painted a series on the Chimborazo. One of the larger glaciers of Chimborazo was named Reschreiter Glacier in his honor. Many of his works can be seen in the Alpine Museum Kempten and the Alpine Club Museum in Innsbruck. • Illustration — Rudolf Reschreiter as an alpinist, taken while he was traveling the Malerweg, also known as the painter's way.
