In 1900, together with Carl von Merode [de] and Heinrich Lefler, he opened an "Art School for Ladies".
[citation needed] His landscapes were influenced by the Barbizon school and the style known as "paysage intime", both of which he was exposed to in France during the 1870s.
[citation needed] He was a frequent exhibitor and won numerous awards; notably at the Exposition Universelle (1900).
From 1890 to 1913, he was a member of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts; representing them at exhibitions at the Glaspalast in Munich and the Große Berliner Kunstausstellung.
[citation needed] Many of his works were acquired by members of Royal and noble families; notably Emperor Napoleon III, Princess Stéphanie of Belgium, Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen, Tsar Nicholas II and Queen Isabella II of Spain.
