In 1870/71, he represented his teacher as a professor. He made numerous trips to Germany, Holland, Belgium and above all to Italy. Russ regularly took part in exhibitions and received every award possible for an artist in Austria by 1891. Russ was also successful internationally. For example, he was represented with five pictures at the 1873 World Exhibition. In the 1880s, he created numerous commissioned pictures for well-known museums. From the mid-1890s he found his motifs mainly in South Tyrol and Lake Garda. From 1900 until his death there followed a long productive period and the intensification of international exhibition activity. Russ used a sketchy style to create his mature work, which is now one of the most sought-after works in Austrian landscape and mood painting. For over twenty years, the area around Arco and Riva on Lake Garda was a source of inspiration for Russ, which earned him the reputation of a "master of lighting effects" during his lifetime.
