Felix Jenewein

Felix Jenewein (4 August 1857, in Kutná Hora – 2 January 1905, in Brno) was a painter, illustrator and lithographer from Austria-Hungary.

After some disagreements with his teachers there, and prompted by his father's declining health, he returned to Prague and married a schoolteacher in 1882.

[1] While there, he participated in the competition to redecorate the Rudolfinum and contributed illustrations for several periodicals, including Paleček [cs] (Tom Thumb) and Zlatá Praha.

His style gradually evolved from Romanticism to Art Nouveau and Symbolism, although his themes were often inspired by the earlier Nazarene movement.

His largest work involved a series of decorations for the Church of the Holy Family in the Ottakring district of Vienna.
