Markus Pernhart was an Austrian painter who rose to prominence for his depictions of Carinthia.
Born 1824 as the son of a carpenter in what is today Untermieger, he was instructed in painting by Eduard Ritter von Moro and Franz Steinfeld. He also expanded his artistic horizon while studying at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. Throughout his life he remained dedicated to the genre of landscape painting in all its manifold variations. Braving wind and weather, he spent endless hours hunkered outdoors to produce his realist paintings.
Pernhart died 1871 at the age of 46 in St. Ruprecht, near Klagenfurt, where he was also laid to rest.
