Josef Hermann Tautenhayn (May 5, 1837 - April 1, 1911) was a medalist, sculptor, and professor from Austria-Hungary.
Biography
Tautenhayn was born in Vienna, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (1854–60) under Carl Radnitzky (1818-1901) and sculpture under Franz Lukas Bauer (1798-1872), then in the engravers' academy of the Imperial mint. After his return from a study trip through Italy, France, and England, undertaken in 1869–72, he was appointed Imperial engraver of coins and medals, and in 1881 professor at the academy.

His plastic work on a large scale includes a group of the “Birth of Athens,” and statues for the University of Vienna, also statues for the Art-Historical Museum and the Houses of Parliament.
