The Moorish Chief, c. 1878 Eduard Charlemont (1848-1906) When he was just fifteen, Eduard was hired to teach drawing at a girls’ school. Later he studied at the Vienna Academy, worked as an apprentice in an artist’s studio, and traveled to Germany, Italy, and finally to Paris, where he stayed for thirty years. Charlemont’s artistic skill brought him much recognition within his lifetime. Charlemont was also famous for murals, or large paintings made to cover a wall or ceiling. His masterwork was three enormous panels for Vienna's city theater. Each panel was almost sixty feet long! Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA
