Anton Joseph von Prenner (1683 – 1761) was an Austrian painter and engraver.
Prenner was born in Wallerstein and is best known for his encyclopedic Theatrum Artis Pictoriae.[1] He collaborated on this project with Andreas Altaumont, Frauas, Stampart and Johann Adam Schmutzer on the production of engravings for the imperial collection of Vienna in the Stallburg, which included 160 plates published in four volumes between 1728 and 1733.[1]
