Albin Egger-Lienz was an Austrian painter. He was born in Dölsach-Stribach near Lienz, on January 29, 1868 and died on November 4, 1926 in St. Justina-Rentsch, Bolzano, Italy.

As an artist, he had a special preference for rustic genre and historical paintings. Egger-Lienz abstracted his formal language into monumental expressiveness.

During 1911 and 1912 he was professor at the Weimar School of Fine Arts and he served as war painter during World War I. In 1918, he turned down a professorship at the Vienna Academy and settled in the province of Bolzano-Bozen.
