Career
After his studies at the Academies of Fine Arts in Vienna and Prague, he settled in Vienna in 1858. He mainly painted allegories, portraits of children, genre and history paintings, ceiling and wall murals, and theater curtains. Many of his paintings show an attempt to combine the influences of Ancient Egyptian Art and Makartstil.
He was especially interested in the subject of children in pictorial representation, and often painted socially critical themes.
