Tivadar Alconiere

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tivadar Cohn Hermann Alconiere (1797, Mattersburg - 1865, Vienna) was a nineteenth century Austro- Hungarian painter. Cohn Hermann was his original family name

He began studying art in Vienna in 1812. He became a devout Catholic in the 1830s and made a pilgrimage to Rome, where he spent 13 years pursuing art studies. He returned to Hungary in the 1840s and painted in the towns of Székesfehérvár, Pápa and Pest until the 1850s when he moved back to Vienna. He then dedicated his life entirely to the pursuit of his religion and died as a cleric in an Austrian monastery.

Alconiere painted mainly portraits such as Count László Károlyi on horseback.
