Juliusz Holzmüller (Bolechow, Ukraine 1876 - Lviv 1932), after completing a course in decorative painting at the Lviv Industrial School, studied under Florian Cynk, Jozef Mehoffer and Teodor Axentowicz at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, and in 1903-1904 also in Munich. After his studies, from 1906 he permanently lived and worked in Lviv. His watercolors, as this was the technique he used most often, found many willing recipients. The artist painted, among other things, cycles of paintings for the hunting pavilion of Prince Otto Habsburg in Rafaelowa, cycles with images of horses from large stud farms, sketches and battle paintings featuring Japanese cavalry (one of the watercolors can still be found in the officers' casino in Tokyo). In addition, he created landscapes, city views, genre scenes with a favorite motif of horses. He exhibited frequently - in Lviv, at the TPSP in Lviv and the Zachęta Gallery in Warsaw. His works are in museums in Krakow, Lańcut and Lviv.
