Romako, Anton, b. Vienna, Oct. 20, 1832, 
d. Vienna, March 8, 1889, painter (historical paintings, landscapes, 
portraits and Italian genre), studied at the Vienna Academy, in Munich 
under W. Kaulbach and under C. Werner in Venice, private pupil of C.  
Rahl in C. Rahl in Vienna; from 1857 worked in Rome, where he was the 
favoured painter of the resident colony of foreigners, 1876 returned 
to Vienna, but had no success there with his work, several journeys to 
Hungary, France and Italy. His early works display the influence of 
Biedermeier realism, while his late works are marked by a nervous 
style of painting anticipating early Expressionism, making R. a 
forerunner of Viennese Modernism.
