Karl Joseph Aloys Agricola, was born at Bad Säckingen, Baden, in 1779. After a preliminary course of instruction in Karlsruhe, he went in 1798 to Vienna and entered the Academy, where he studied under Füger. He soon became known for his mythological pictures in oil and watercolour — of which we may mention a 'Cupid and Psyche' — and for his etchings and lithographs; but he was more especially famed for his miniature-portraits. After a prosperous career he died in Vienna in 1862. He pamted in the style of the end of the 18th century, and was an imitator of his master Füger. He engraved after the works of Elzheimer, Raphael, Poussin, Parmigiano, Domenichino, Füger, and others.
