Lot Essay

Born in a small town in the present-day Czech Republic in 1864, Franz Bischoff showed great artistic promise at an early age. He enrolled in school in Vienna in 1879, studying watercolor painting, design and ceramic decoration. Around 1882, Bischoff immigrated to the United States, initially living in New York, where he worked as a decorator in a china factory. In 1890, Bischoff moved to Detroit, Michigan. There, he opened a studio, producing and teaching ceramic decorating and watercolor painting.

Bischoff traveled to California for the first time in 1900 before settling there in 1906. Struck by the thriving art colony in southern California, he built a home and studio in Pasadena to pursue painting. Bischoff earned acclaim for his depictions of the Californian landscape and luscious floral still lifes. The present work is an outstanding example of Bischoff's renowned rose still lifes, exemplifying the artist's astute observation and intimate knowledge of his floral subjects.
