Austrian painter. He studied under Piloty in Munich and from 1869 worked  in Vienna, where he was enormously successful and became a leading  society figure. His pictures, often vast in size, were  characteristically of mythological, historical, and allegorical  subjects, treated in the manner of grand opera or Hollywood epics in an  exuberant, somewhat Rubensian style. They were produced in a huge studio  that was one of the sights of Vienna (Makart liked to paint in front of  visitors). His work had great influence in Austria and Germany, notably  on the early work of Klimt, but his reputation soon declined after his  death.
