FrantiΕ‘ek DvoΕΓ‘k, born FrantiΕ‘ek Bruner, trained in Prague, Vienna, and Munich. He enjoyed success with exhibitions in continental Europe, the UK, and the US, but received little appreciation in his home country until late in his life. At the time he painted The Angel of the Birds, DvoΕΓ‘k was strongly influenced by spiritualism, which he had been exposed to during his time in the US.
