The Life and Journey of Franz Caucig

Born in Gorizia, Italy, Franz Caucig was a Neoclassical painter and draughtsman of Slovene origin. His early talent was recognized by Count Guido von Cobenzl, who facilitated his education by sending him to the son of Philipp, an influential figure at the Austrian court.
