Hugo Charlemont came from a famous Austrian family of artists. He was the son of a successful miniature portraitist. The painters Eduard Charlemont (1848-1906) and Theodor Charlemont (1859-1938) were his brothers. Hugo's daughter Lilly Charlemont (1890-1975) was also an artist._x000B_Hugo Charlemont studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from 1873 as a pupil of Eduard Peithner von Lichtenfels. Arthur William Unger taught him the printing technique and the art of etching. He subsequently took further artistic training with his brother Eduard and with Hans Makart. Charlemont travelled to Holland for study purposes and also spent several years in Venice. Hugo Charlemont is the model for the painter van Helmond in the novel The Man Without Qualities by Robert Musil. In the novel, the painter's daughter Alice also appears as Clarisse.
Hugo Charlemont captivates with his luminous, impressionist landscape paintings. Especially the motifs from the surroundings of Vienna and Lower Austria always impressed the artist and inspired him to his works. This is also the case in this wonderful summer painting with the monastery garden and the Herzogenburg Abbey in the Traisen Valley behind it.
