Life and work

Viktor Barvitius was the youngest child of Andreas Barvitius (1782–1836) and his wife Barbara, née Egger (1805–1874). His older brother was the architect Antonín Viktor Barvitius (1823–1901).[1][2] His sister Therezia (1826–1894) was married to the architect Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann.

In 1864 he graduated from the Prague Academy. His graduate work was a picture of the Battle of Crecy. From 1865 to 1868 lived in Paris, where he studied under Thomas Couture. In 1860 he returned to Bohemia, then devoted himself to genre painting. He died in Prague, aged 68.
