Life and career

Born the son of the municipal archivist John Depauly and Elisabetha, née Schmid, Anton Felix went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he studied from 1815 to 1826,[2] probably with the help of his uncle who was a merchant in Stríbro. After ten years studying drawing and history of painting in Vienna, he got married and started a family with several children. He worked in the capital as historical and portrait painter, and around the 1840s, he left the city and returned to his relatives in Bohemia where he was still active as a portrait painter.

Joseph Sonnleithner, Beethoven's personal friend and lawyer, commissioned from him a portrait of Franz Schubert where he appears without his eyeglasses for the portrait gallery of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde. His work in Vienna, consisting of up to thirteen portraits of composers, now in the collection of the music association, and the ensuing decades of his life in Bohemia where another four paintings were already attributed to him, still are currently not documented.

gollark: It does some random stuff and prints out debug info.
