Karl Mediz studied art in Vienna in Griepenkerl and L´Allemand´s class, later with Wagner and Goltz in Munich. He also attended the Académie Julien in Paril for one year. He was often in Dachau and Knokke, where he met Emilie Pelikan. They married and moved to Vienna, where they found only little recognition of their work as artists. Only a small cercle of connaisseurs, among them art critics or fellow painters like Uhde, Lehmden, Hörmann and Hervesi supported them. In 1894 the couple moved to Dresden, where there was a more progressive climate for art. In Germany, Karl Mediz soon gained some success as a portraitist and together with his wife, who also worked as a painter, they lead a successfull life as artists around 1900. In 1902 he even exhibited in Vienna and participated in group exhibitions of the Hagenbund. After the early death of his wife in 1908, Karl Mediz painted less and less and turned towards graphical arts. In close contact to the couple´s only daughter, he continued to live until his death in Dresden.
