Emilie Mediz-Pelikan studied at the Academy of Art in Vienna and followed her teacher to Salzbourg and in 1885 to Munich. She frequently spent time at the famous artist´s colony in Dachau/Germany, where she met her later husband Karl Mediz. She did numerous study and field trips to France, Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Croatia. The artist couple also explored with extensive hiking tours, which were at that time still unusual, the beauty of the Alpine mounains, mainly in Tyrol and Switzerland. It wasn't until the turn of the century that Mediz-Pelikan had her breakthrough as an artist. In art magazines critics put her name beside famous artists of that time like Leibl, Uhde, Thomas and Klinger. In 1904 the couple moved to Dresden. She had exhibitions in Dresden, Rome, at Künstlerhaus Berlin, and in Hagenbund Vienna and museums started to buy her works. In 1908 Mediz-Pelikan surprisingly died of a heart attac. Almost 100 years later, in 1986 she had a first museum retrospective in Oberösterreichisches Landesmuseum in Linz/Austria. Exhibitions in galleries in Vienna, Linz and Munich followed.
