Austrian School
Born on 15 July 1820 in Vienna and died on 1 January 1902
Austrian Painter of battle scenes, hunting scenes and genre pictures.
Alexander von Bensa studied in 1838/39 at the landscape school of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts under Franz Steinfeld and Thomas Ender. His first exhibition took place in 1841 as part of the Academy exhibition. Later exhibitions followed in the Künstlerhaus and the Austrian Kunstverein in Vienna.
Under the influence of Anton von Pettenkofen, Von Bensa turned to the subject of battle painting and the depiction of scenes from the lives of Hungarian people. After an accident in the winter of 1889, he was paralyzed in his last years. Works by the artist can be found among others in the Albertina in Vienna.
He was popular with his clients from the circles of the Viennese court nobility and the upper bourgeoisie and enjoyed numerous commissions. Bensa painted a number of depictions from wartime life, which achieved recognition and high prices.
The Emperor of Austria commissioned and bought several famous battle scenes to be painted by this artist and his works have been seen in the Museum of Vienna.
His works are regularly auctioned throughout Europe.
