Carl Roesner
Carl Roesner was an Austrian architect.Life
He studied architecture in Vienna and Rome. In 1826, he began work as a proofreader for lectures at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and, in 1835, became a Professor there. He gravitated to the Romanticists and concentrated on sacred art. Wilhelm Stiassny was one of his students. He was also editor of the Allgemeine Bauzeitung.
