About the Item

Our haunting and beautiful portrait on canvas of Medusa was painted by the Austrian-born artist Karel Eichhoff (1899-?).  Stretcher measures 12.25 by 13.25 inches and the period giltwood frame measures 20 by 21 inches. Signed in lower right. With written authentication completed by the independent appraiser, Antonin Kleinwachter, Brno, Czech Republic, in 1976. Provenance: Jay Waldmann, Southampton, New York. The artist was born in Graz (Štýrský Hradec) in the south-eastern part of Austria.  He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague from 1920 to 1924 under Professor Karl Krattner (1862-1926).  He exhibited at Krasoumná Jednota, the provincial association formed in 1835 to support fine arts. Members included patrons from royalty and the state, including Emperor Francis Joseph I and Francis Ferdinand d'Este. Artist members included a number of prestigious and respected painters and sculptors, including Christian Ruben, Jaroslav Cermák , Josef Vojtech Hellich , Gabriel Cornelius Ritter von Max, and Emanuel Max. The association organized annual salons and issued prizes, normally in aristocratic homes. By 1852 their events were held at the Klementinum in Prague, now a museum.
