Born in Vienna on June 19, 1862, he initially studied at the School of Arts and Crafts before enrolling at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 1882, where he studied under August Eisenmenger and Josef Mathias Trenkwald. In 1901, Jaschke became a member of the Vienna Secession. His work is associated with the Viennese Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) and is characterized by a decorative color palette often brightened through pointillist techniques. He became particularly well known for his views of Viennese gardens and cityscapes; in addition, he created portraits of children and young girls, history paintings, and vedute (city views) of Vienna. His preferred motifs included Schönbrunn, the Danube Canal, and the Pilgram Bridge. Works such as Donaulände (or Erdberger Lände) from 1903—now in the Belvedere collection—combine precise observation of the Viennese cityscape with a luminous, modern painting style. Jaschke was also an accomplished draftsman; the Albertina, for instance, holds his 1898 watercolor Seated Nude Girl. Franz Jaschke died in Vienna on December 1, 1910. Within the context of Austrian art around 1900, his work occupies a distinctive position, bridging academic training, Secessionist modernism, and the painterly discovery of everyday life in contemporary Vienna.
