"Chinese Still Life By Ernst Czernotzky (1869 - 1939)"
This still life with Chinese antiques was executed at the beginning of the 20th century by the well-known Austrian painter Ernst Czernotzky (1869-1939), of Czech origin. Czernotzky began his apprenticeship in painting privately in Brno with Emil Pirchan. After moving to Vienna in 1902, he continued his studies at the private painting and drawing school of David Kohn (1861-1922). He made several study trips to Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Denmark and Italy. From 1911 he was a member of the Austrian Artists' Association. Czernotzky devoted himself almost exclusively to painting still lifes after Dutch models. His specialty was still lifes with antiques such as glasses, tankards, jugs and goblets.Literature: Artists' Lexicons by: Thieme/Becker; Vollmer; Schmidt.
