Ferencz-Franz Eisenhut (Nova Palanka, January 25, 1857 - Munich, June 2, 1903) was a prominent Danube Swabian Realist and Orientalist painter. Many of his paintings were reproduced by woodcutting workshops across Europe, because, as his friend Lyka Karoly claimed, "his paintings showed the authentic Orient.” Lyka Karoly also gave a detailed description of Eisenhut's studio in Munich, which was located at Mozartstrasse 13/4. Another famous painting made at the time was Death of Gül Baba, for which he won the State Gold Medal at an exhibition in Budapest.
