Daniel Gran

Place: Vienna

Born: 1694

Death: 1757

Biography:

Daniel Gran which successfully laid his claim and revived his title. A wrongful use of noble titles and predicates would have been unthinkable in the time and exposed the social position of the artist.
Towards the end of his career, his paintings appear increasingly less "Baroque" (in figural dimensions, illusionism). Gran therefore can be seen as an important precursor of classicism.
In 1894, in Vienna's Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus (15th District), the Grangasse street was named after him.
