Franz von Defregger is often regarded as the main representative of Alpine genre painting of the Munich School. Born in Tyrol, he came to painting after a few detours. In 1860 he attended the preparatory class of the Royal School of Arts and Crafts in Munich and in the following year he passed the entrance examination to the Royal Academy of Arts, which he did not enter until 1864. After a stay in Paris, where he continued his artistic training at the École des Beaux-Arts, he moved permanently to Munich. He subsequently specialised in portraits, depictions of scenes from the Tyrolean freedom fights and everyday Tyrolean life, especially scenes of children.
