Leopold Loeffler
Leopold Loeffler, also spelled Lffler, , was a Polish realist painter of the late Romantic period popular in the second half of the 19th century under the foreign partitions of Poland. Lithographic reproductions of his paintings were widely distributed among the members of the Krakw and Warsaw art societies, and frequently reprinted in popular periodicals owing to their historical references to Polish national uprisings and battlefronts, as well as their great attention to period detail.
Leopold Leoffler was born on October 27, 1827 in Rzeszw under the Austrian Partition, the son of an administrative officer Jan Leoffler , and his wife Domicella ne Dbrowska. His father was an office manager locally before moving his family to Lww in order to take up the position of a district secretary. Leopold went to school in Radymno, where his uncle Filip Loeffler was a postmaster. Upon graduation, he enrolled at the Department of Philosophy of the Lww University. At about that time, he also rediscovered his interest in painting and in 1845 left the partitioned Poland for Vienna, to continue his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts there.
