Peter Schubart von Ehrenberg (born 1668) was an Austrian painter and stage designer who worked in Vienna in the early 18th century. He was the son of Wilhelm Schubert van Ehrenberg, a perspective painter. Ehrenberg made temporary decorations for court celebrations, such as triumphal arches marking the ages of kings and emperors from Charlemagne to Charles VI (1701–02). He also designed engravings. In 1711 he created a castrum doloris—a funeral monument—for Emperor Joseph I’s funeral in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna.
