FRANZ VON BYROS

This entry is dedicated to my decadence-lover, talented boyfriend and is about a unique artist that opposed himself to the moral restraints of his time. His name is Franz Von Byros, he was born in Zagreb in 1866, now Croatia but then it was Austria. He made illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy and other books, but he was best known for his erotic drawings published in his controversial "Tales at the Dressing Table" portfolio."In 1911 he was persecuted by the Munich police because of his illustrations and was forced into exile from Germany". I hope you will enjoy his intricate, elegant, beautiful and erotic work, as I do. If you want to see more go here.and here.
