The landscape painter, Vincenz Havlicek was born in 1864 in Vienna where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under Eduard Peithner von Lichtenfels (1833-1913). Havlicek exhibited his paintings in the "Künstlerhaus" in Vienna.

He also taught the Austrian aristocracy in painting watercolours, the artist's favourite technique. With his students, well-known Austrian painters like Eduard Zetsche, Johann Nepomuk Geller or Maximilian Suppantschitsch, he underwent frequent study trips in the countryside around Vienna.
