Viktor Oskar Tilgner (25 October 1844, Bratislava - 16 April 1896, Vienna) was an Austrian sculptor and portraitist. He is the chief representative of the neo-Baroque style in the sculpture of the Ringstrasse.

At the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna he first began to study with Franz Bauer, but soon moved to the Tyrolean sculptor Josef Gasser, who sparked by its proximity to the holy statues in Tilgner "Baroque" interest and introduced him to the practical work. In parallel he led the medalist Joseph Daniel Böhm in the art of Ziselierens.
Viktor Tilgner realistic academicism was Makart, a leading painter influenced the Ringstrasse era, with whom he also traveled to Italy in 1874. In addition, the sculptor had also made contact with Johann Strauss and belonged to the circle of artists around Karl Graf Lanckoronski. He was also heavily influenced by French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Gustave Deloye, who had arrived at the World Exhibition in Vienna. [1]
