Otto Pilny Wall Decorations

Swiss, 1866-1936

Otto Pilny began his artistic education in Prague. He lived in Vienna and ended up settling in Zurich. Just like Ludwig Deutsch (1855–1935), Rudolf Ernst (1854–1932) and Carl Leopold Müller (1834–92), Pilny was encouraged to travel abroad. During his two trips to Egypt, a favorite destination of the Austro-Hungarian school, the first one in 1889 and later in 1892, he acquired the taste of painting Orientalist scenes of Middle Eastern landscapes, life, customs and people, something that he continued doing for his entire artistic career. His paintings also captured scenes of Islamic culture and traditions. In recent years, Pilny's work has attracted the eye of Museum curators, collectors and art dealers.
