About the author
Born in Vienna on January 21, 1879, Alois Leopold Seibold was an Austrian artist whose career was closely tied to the city where he was also later to die in 1951. Sources describe him as largely self-taught, though he also studied privately with the etcher and engraver Victor Jasper.
Seibold began exhibiting with the Hagenbund in the early 20th century and was a member of the group from 1912 to 1924. That connection places him within a lively period of Viennese art, when artists were testing new directions outside older academic traditions.
He is remembered today for paintings, watercolors, and especially graphic work such as etchings. Even in brief records, a picture emerges of an artist interested in mood, landscape, and urban life, with works that continued to circulate through exhibitions, collections, and auctions long after his lifetime.
