Йозеф Крихубер (нем. Josef Kriehuber; 15 декабря 1800, Вена — 30 мая 1876, там же) — австрийский художник.
Йозеф Крихубер с тринадцатилетнего возраста занимался в классе рисунка Венской Академии художеств. В 1818—1821 гг. служил учителем рисования у польских князей Сангушко. Затем вернулся в Вену. В 1826 году появляются его первые портреты, используя новую технику печати литографии. В ближайшие несколько десятилетий, Kriehuber становится наиболее востребованным и наиболее высокооплачиваемым портретистом Вены. Его успех, вероятно, связан с тем, что он изображал выдающихся мужчин, а женщин красивее, чем они есть на самом деле.
Ему принадлежит около 3000 литографических портретов, в том числе императора Франца I Австрийского, графа Меттерниха, Йозефа Радецкого, композиторов и музыкантов Франца Шуберта, Роберта Шумана, Ференца Листа, Никколо Паганини, Иоганна Нестроя, Франца Грильпарцера и многих других знаменитостей.
Писал также маслом и акварелью, работал в технике рисунка.


Его сын Фридрих (нем. Friedrich Kriehuber; 1834—1871) пошёл по стопам отца и тоже стал художником-портретистом.
Последние годы Kriehuber были омрачены бедностью. Умер 30 мая 1876 года в родном городе Вене. Его место последнего упокоения, теперь почетная могила, находится в венском "Zentralfriedhof" (Центральное кладбище).

МУЖСКИЕ ПОРТРЕТЫ

Josef Kriehuber (14 December 1800 – 30 May 1876) was an Austrian lithographer and painter. He made numerous portraits for nobility and government officials. Josef Kriehuber left more than 3000 lithographs, with portraits of many people.
Josef Kriehuber was born in Vienna, Austria on 14 December 1800. He was first trained by his brother Johann Kriehuber, then studied at the Vienna Academy under Hubert Maurer, then moved to Galicia, where he devoted himself to horse painting. He worked as a lithographer for several Viennese publishing houses. With nearly 3,000 works, Josef Kriehuber was the most important portrait lithographer of the Viennese Biedermeier period. Kriehuber is also noted for his studies of the Prater park. He taught at the Vienna Theresianum academy.

Kriehuber was only 13 years old when he went to the art-class in the Imperial Academy in Vienna. In 1818, he accompanied the prince Sanguszko as a drawing-master to Poland. In 1821 he returned to Vienna. To earn himself money for the course at the academy, and for the cost of living, he became one of the most industrious lithographic employees of the publishing company Trentsensky. In 1826, his first portraits using the new printing technique of lithography appear. In the next few decades, Kriehuber becomes the most sought-after and best-paid portraitist of Biedermeier Vienna. His success probably stems from the fact that he is a master of portraying men as more distinguished, and women as prettier, than they are in reality.

His works, an image of the Viennese society of this epoch, include nearly 3000 portrait-lithographs, along with a few hundred water-colours. There are but few well-known persons of that time who did not have their portrait made by Kriehuber. Names include: Francis I of Austria, Fürst von Metternich, Josef Radetzky, Franz Grillparzer, Johann Nestroy, Archduke Johann, Friedrich Halm, Friedrich Hebbel, Hammer-Purgstall, Franz Schubert, Anton Diabelli, Robert Schumann, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Carl Czerny, Franz Liszt, Sigismond Thalberg, Ole Bull, Niccolò Paganini, Elias Parish Alvars, Fritz Reuter, Therese Krones, Fanny Elßler, Archduke Karl Ludwig, Sophie of Austria, Marie-Louise of Austria, Johann Kaspar von Seiller, Hector Berlioz, Stephan Endlicher, Ignaz von Seyfried, Moritz Gottlieb Saphir, Carl von Ghega, Wilhelm von Tegetthoff, Ferdinand Maximilian von Austria.

In 1860 he was hailed as first artist awarded the Franz Joseph Order in Austria. With the advances of photography, however, commissions fell off; Kriehuber's last years were overshadowed by poverty. He died on 30 May 1876, in his native city of Vienna. His final resting place, now an honorary grave,[clarification needed] is in Vienna's "Zentralfriedhof" (central cemetery).

Significant collections of his works are in the Albertina (Vienna), and in the portrait collection of the Austrian National Library in Vienna. Since 1889 a street in Vienna-Margareten (Vienna's 5th district), has been named after Kriehuber.
