Eduard Charlemont
Eduard Charlemont was born in Vienna and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. After his graduation, Charlemont travelled throughout Europe and finally settled in Paris where he won first prize at the Paris Salon. In 1899 he won the gold medal at the Exposition Universelle and became renowned for his murals; the most important being the walls of the Austrian National Theatre in Vienna. He is perhaps best known for his painting The Guardian of the Seraglio, or The Moorish Chief, depicting a Moorish swordsman guarding a seraglio, which is now one of the best selling post cards in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
