Karl Karoly Lotz (Hungarian, 1833 - 1904)
Karoly Lotz (also Karl Anton Paul Lotz) was a historical and genre painter. Born in 1833 in Germany, he moved to Budapest in 1837.
His artistic career began as a student of court conductor Destouches and later in the Academy of Painting of the Venetian master Jacopo Marastoni. He then studied with the Hungarian history painter Henrik Weber in Budapest and the history painter Carl Rahl (1812-1865) in Vienna.
He created romantic landscapes and monumental and decorative murals and frescoes in the style of the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. He also decorated some grand palaces. He was also known for his portraits and nudes.
In 1882, Lotz worked as a professor at various art academies in Budapest. His paintings, drawings and designs were purchased by the Hungarian state and are on display in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest.
