Born in the little town of Goisern, Austria, Josef Eidenberger began his artistic career as a landscape painter, showing great perception for the mood of the local countryside. In 1923 he enrolled in the famed Graphic Academy of Art in Vienna and studied under Professor Alfred Cossman.

Starting with copper engraving, Eidenberger soon turned to etching as his medium. His specialized studies and love for subtle color led him to the complicated process of color etching. 

His eye for detail and meticulous execution of each plate brought him many commissions from city officials and members of the business communities throughout Europe, especially in Austria and Germany, as well as the US.  Exhibitions of his work and his contributions to the art world are literally too numerous to mention.

Due to the increased worldwide demand for his etchings, coupled by his death in 1991 at the age of 92, the value of his work has risen sharply as more and more collectors have realized the brilliance of his extraordinary talent.
