He enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and briefly at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
In 1880, he rented a small studio in Paris and began to work on absorbing the new styles. In 1882, he was invited to spend six months painting at the Radziwiłł estate near Ermenonville.The following year, he exhibited at the Salon. Although successful, by 1884 he was ready to return home and held an auction of his works at the Hôtel Drouot.
