Moreau, Charles de (Karl von), b. Paris (France), 1758, d. Vienna, Nov. 3, 1840, architect and painter; father of the painter Nikolaus M. (1805-1834). Trained in Paris, also under J.-L. David, came to Austria in the 1790s, at court was employed only on festive occasions because of his former republican connections. M. was however engaged by the Esterházy family to design the palace in Eisenstadt (left uncompleted in 1805) and the church and mausoleum in Nagyganna (Hungary), 1818. Later worked mainly as a painter of historical genre scenes. In search of a balance between splendour and rationalism, M. played a major role in introducing French architectural styles and strongly influenced the architecture of Vormärz (period before the March revolution of 1848).


Further works: Dianabad public baths (Vienna 2nd district), 1808; Pálffy Palace (Vienna 1st district), 1809-1813; former National Bank (Vienna 1st district), 1823.
