Karel Schadt
Karel Schadt was a landscape and impressionist painter. He was born in Böhmen in the Austro-Hungarian empire (today Příbram in the Czech Republic) and grew up under Masaryk and the 1st Republic. He died at 67 in 1955 while living under the communist regime.
Karel Schadt was influenced by 19th-century French impressionists such as Monet and Pissarro. Between 1911 and 1916, he was a pupil of Alois Kalvoda. He exhibited in Vienna, Prague in the salons of Rubešov,[1] Topičov, Weinfurt & Ročák; then was appointed professor of painting at the academy of Příbram. His success allowed him to live from his painting as he painted and sold over 200 canvases during his lifetime.

He painted many landscapes of his native region around Příbram (a hilly and wooded area 40 km south of Prague) but also the Slovak Tatras. His travels gave him the opportunity to vary his themes: the coast near Nice became the subject of several oils,[2] and Dubrovnik as well.[3] His style evolved considerably during his career. His paintings became more intense in terms of colors and he perfected the technique of painting forests and snowy landscapes, to the point they became his trademark. Even his way of signing changed with his art. From a thin signature barely legible on his first paintings, he switched to a signature in bold capitals very visible on his later works.
Karel Schadt organized more than thirty exhibitions of his works from 1916 in Plzeň in the Benisek gallery with Ludvík Kuba, in Kosice in Slovakia in 1927, till the end of his official career in 1943. He died of a heart attack at 67 leaving behind his second wife. His works are now exhibited in various museums, notably in Příbram, his hometown, and in 2017 at the Prague Castle Museum alongside Monet and Radimsky.
