Octavian Smigelschi

This Austrian-Hungarian artist painted prints, religious scenes, and portraits between the late 1800s and early 1900s. His “Autoportret” shows the artist at work, while “Îngerul morții” frames death as a quiet guardian. Small oil “Triptic” panels tell layered stories, and his wife appears in the print “Portret de femeie - soția artistului.”

Look for a young reader absorbed in a book in his painting “Tânăr citind.” Tap “Autoportret” to zoom in on his careful lines.
