Leading Czech painter and printmaker Max Švabinský studied under Maximilián Pirner at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he later led the special printmaking department. His oeuvre developed out of Symbolism and Impressionism, which also marked his sensory relationship to nature and the female figure. He was an excellent draftsman and engraver exhibiting exceptional technical skill and a strong sense for detail.
