Heinrich von Ferstel

Heinrich von Ferstel was in Italy in 1855 when he won the competition for the Votive Church in Vienna over 74 contestants. Italy had turned him toward the Renaissance style, and he began to use terracotta and graffito decoration. Building the church took him more than twenty years. In Vienna he also designed the Austrian Museum for Applied Art, completed in 1871, and the University of Vienna. He was born in Vienna and died in Grinzing in 1883.
