Ferdinand Max Bredt (1868 - 1921) was a German painter with Oriential/Arabian influence. Bredt predominantly uses female subjects that he places in exotic locations, interiors, and courtyard. He was fascinated with Oriental architecture; he built his house and studio in Ruhpolding in an Arabian style. The work of Ferdinand Max Bredt was exhibited in Paris, Berlin, Chicago and London. Today he is little-known, but he was widely recognised in his lifetime for his works.
