== Life and work ==
He was the son of [[Josef Kriehuber]], a well-known portrait painter and lithographer. Beginning in 1848, he attended the [[Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna]]. Initially, he was a landscape painter but later turned to portraits and, as an employee of his father, lithography.<ref name="OBL" />
 
Many of his works were published by {{ill|Eduard Hallberger|de}} as illustrations for his magazine ''Über Land und Meer'' (Over Land and Sea). A year after Kriehuber's death, some of his lithographs appeared in ''Das jahr 1848. Geschichte der Wiener revolution'' (a two volume history of the [[Vienna Uprising]]) by Heinrich Reschauer (b. 1838) and Moritz Smets (1828-1890).
 
He suffered from chronic health problems for most of his life and died of a [[pulmonary]] disorder at the Austrian Hydrotherapy Institute, shortly after being appointed a Professor at the [[Theresian Military Academy]].
