Friedrich Sturm

He started out as a student of his father, who was a porcelain and enamel painter, and then attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.

He turned to fresco painting and specialized as a flower and animal artist.

From 1853 to 1859 he sent his pictures to the monthly exhibitions of the Austrian Art Association.

Women were also allowed to take part in his flower painting classes.

Sturm was a member of the Eintracht artists' association and, from 1861, the Vienna Cooperative of Visual Artists (Künstlerhaus) and, from 1868, a member of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.
