Czech, 1842–1926
Active in Austria, Anton Hlavacek trained as a decorative painter and later entered landscape painting after initial rejections from art school. He traveled in Germany on a state scholarship, then created panoramic and monumental works as well as small-scale landscapes, often depicting poetic observations of nature. Hlavacek painted large wall murals for public establishments and was a founding member of an Austrian artists' association in 1906. He received several honors in his later years, including a street named after him and memorials in his district.
