Ludwig Adam Kunz was an Austro-German painter.
Adam Kunz first studied sculpture with Viktor Tilgner, then from 1876 painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and finished his studies at the Munich Royal Academy of Arts with Franz von Lenbach and Friedrich August von Kaulbach in 1878.
Initially he created different types of pictures (landscape, genre, nudes, still life), since his stay in Paris in 1885 with Mihály von Munkácsy he devoted himself almost exclusively to still lifes in the style of early Netherlandish painting. From 1885 Kunz lived in the Asam-Schlössl in Thalkirchen, which he painted for the National Museum on behalf of the architect Gabriel von Seidl. The picture was exhibited there in 1900. In 1896 he was appointed professor at the Munich Academy.
