His artworks were exhibited at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1878 and 1900 where he received a great popularity. He was appointed Imperial Court jeweller to the Hapsburg Court. He died in Vienna in 1907. The scenes are of Renaissance figures dancing, playing musical instruments and enjoying outside activities.
