About Leopold Carl Müller
Leopold Carl Müller was an Austrian painter, born in Dresden in 1834 to Austrian parents and raised in Vienna. He studied under Karl von Blaas and then at the Vienna Academy under Christian Ruben. To support his family he worked for several years as an illustrator for the Viennese satirical weekly Figaro. He first went to Cairo in 1873 and returned to Egypt for long winter stays until 1885. He became a professor at the Vienna Academy in 1877 and served as its rector in 1890–91. He died at Weidlingau, near Vienna, in 1892.
Müller is known for his scenes of daily life in Egypt, painted from studies made on his travels: markets, water carriers, schools and portraits of local people. Market in Cairo (1878) is held by the Belvedere in Vienna, and Young Copt Woman is in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich.
Leopold Carl Müller prints: reproductions of the paintings of Egypt that Austrian artist Leopold Carl Müller made in the 1880s. The collection includes The Water Carriers (1880), Schule in Oberägypten (1881) and An Almée's Admirers (Egyptische Tänzerin) (1882).
Our selection focuses on village and town life along the Nile: women carrying water, a school class in Upper Egypt and a dancer with her audience. The works share warm earth tones, strong daylight and careful observation of faces and clothing.
These scenes suit living rooms, dining rooms and hallways, and the school scene works well in studies. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
