"Oil Study Of Roses By Franz Komlósy (flower Painter - Austrian, 1817-1892)"
Masterfully Biedermeier painting of roses was executed in the first half of 19th century by good listed Hungarian-Austrian landscape and flower painter Franz Komlósy (Hungarian: Ferenc Komlóssy), born in 1817 in Temesvár, died in 1892 in Vienna.

Komlósy was born into an old Hungarian family in the Banat region. In Vienna, he was a private student of Waldmüller, and from 1839 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. From 1848, he was a member of the "Pester Kunstverein" (Pest Art Association). He is said to have invented a precursor to the postcard when he visited the area around Herkulesbad with Friedrich Uhl.According to the artist's biographer István Berkeszi, he later published 18 lithographs in Vienna as a result of this journey, for which the text was written by his traveling companion. He lived temporarily in Temesvár and Prague, and in the 1850s in Turkish Kanizsa. From 1861 onwards, he directed a private painting school in Temesvár. He moved to Vienna around 1865. Komlósy was recognized as an artist, but lived in difficult financial circumstances. Although he is primarily considered a landscape and flower painter—his paintings of the roses in Schönbrunn Park are considered excellent botanical studies—he earned his living primarily by painting images of saints and portraits, some of which have survived to this day in private collections. From 1889 onwards, he suffered from mental illness; he died in 1892 and was buried in Vienna's Central Cemetery.Some of his works are now located in the Fine Arts Department of the Banat National Museum.
