Life
Rudolph was the son of :de:Franz Moroder, Franz Moroder-Lenèrt, a leading politician of the region, and of Marianna Moroder-Lusenberg, the sister of the noted sculptor Josef Moroder-Lusenberg. During a period of military service in the Austro-Hungarian Army in Vienna, he recognized that his true interest was in being an artist. He began his training in the craft under Anton Runggaldier (known as "Tone da Passua") and then became an assistant in the studio of Franz Tavella. In 1902 Moroder opened his own studio in Lenèrt House, home of the firm, Moroder Brothers, where his brother-in-law, Ludwig Moroder, also worked. His own works ranged across a number of religious themes, and were mostly created for the various churches and cathedrals of the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Württemberg. He created a famous set of the Stations of the Cross for the Church of St. Ann in Silesia. Moroder re-entered military service when World War I broke out. Stationed at a base in Radlow in Galicia (Eastern Europe), Austrian Galicia, he was there when the position was overrun by enemy forces. He, along with many of his comrades, was bayonetted to death, dying at the age of 37. His body was buried there.Works
Moroder decided to submit a work to an art exhibit at the Exposition Universelle (1900), World's Fair of 1900, to be held in Paris. He chose his wooden sculpture of ''St. Elizabeth of Hungary with a Beggar'', which he had sculpted in 1898 at the age of 21, based on a design by :de:Christian Delago, Christian Delago. He won the gold medal in the exhibition for this piece. The work is now in the Rosary Chapel of the parish church of Urtijëi, known for the large number of significant works of art from that period created by the large, local artistic community of the region. Another of Moroder's pieces, a large, wooden sculpture of Saint Peter, stands in the sanctuary of the church, next to the main altar.Gallery
