Rudolf Jettmar, Austrian painter and graphic artist born in 1869 in Zawodzie near Tarnów, Galicia.
Jettmar studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and worked as a professor at this institution from 1910 until his retirement in 1936. In 1929 he succeeded Ferdinand Schmutzer as master of the masterclass for graphics. Jettmar also taught from 1898 at the Frauenkunstschule, the later Viennese women's academy.
From 1898 he was a member of the Vienna Secession. Jettmar's work is influenced by the Max Klinger's. He is regarded as a significant representative of symbolism. "The Hours of the Night", "Prometheus" (1910 and 1916) and the eight etchings of the cycle "Cain after Lord Byron" are among his most important graphic works. Jettmar's paintings include the side altars of the church at Steinhof. Jettmar's painterly masterpiece "Way of life", from 1909, was destroyed in the war.
Jettmar died of a stroke in 1939. On the occasion of his 50th anniversary, the Austrian Post dedicated him a special stamp. In 1954 the Jettmargasse was named after him in Vienna-Liesing (23rd district).
The few remaining oil paintings (landscapes, Greek mythology) as well as etchings are predominantly family-owned.
