Pál Böhm

Pál (Paul) Böhm (28 December 1839, Nagyvárad - 29 March 1905, Munich) was a Hungarian genre painter.

After finishing elementary school, he tried his hand at many crafts, including carpentry, coppersmithing and toy making.

[1] In 1862, he finally decided to become a painter, eventually travelling to Vienna, where he copied the works on display in the Belvedere Palace.

[1] Two years later, he was sufficiently established to earn a decent living and moved to Budapest, where he exhibited with the National Society of Hungarian Fine Arts.

This enabled him to travel to Munich,[1] where he quickly became part of the city's artistic life and associated with a group of Hungarian painters led by Géza Mészöly.
