Anton Ažbe was a Slovene realist painter and influential teacher of painting. Despite being crippled since birth and orphaned at a young age, Ažbe honed his craft through apprenticeships and studies in Vienna and Munich. At the age of 30, he established a renowned painting school in Munich that attracted students from Eastern Europe. Ažbe’s innovative training methods influenced prominent artists of his time, and his legacy includes a collection of graphic works. However, he never fully realized his artistic potential, surrounded by mystery and eccentricity.
